Review of a connected system of utility facility control and energy management systems: Connected and reconfigurable industrial control system realization of a human-centered interface

摘要

This study presents the experiences and feedback to human-centered industrial control systems (ICSs), which the author described as next-generation ICSs at SICE-AC2008. The following three visions of utility monitor and control system for critical infrastructure have been indicated: human-centered interface with remote operation in any location, promoting information sharing especially to analyze energy consumption data from vertical and horizontal directions, and flexible reconfiguration with zero marginal cost.
