In recent days, the research for offshore wind power has been activated, and many offshore wind farms have already been built. But the offshore wind turbine in a bad environment that can reduce the length of life. And it is difficult to access and check the status. In order to solve these problems, the information on the offshore meteorological environment should be analyzed to precise control the wind turbine and to provide the responses to the appropriate maintenance. We proposed a method of integration of the sensor gateway to monitor the meteorological information. If the environmental information (such as temperature, humidity, wind direction and wind speed) was accurately measured to operate the wind turbine, the malfunction and downtime of wind turbine would be able to reduce. Firstly, we designed the sensor modules to collect the meteorological information data and next, an integration gateway was designed to obtain the data from sensor modules and to transmit the data to central monitoring system. Therefore, the possibility of failure was increased, and then the secondary damage by limited access caused additional costs by locating offshore.
