Industry 4.0-Based Enterprise Information System for Demand-Side Management and Energy Efficiency

Abstract

The supply demand gap in energy sector in any country is a major challenge. Demand side management (DSM) and energy efficiency (EE) are the well-known solutions in the short term, and capacity addition is the long-term solution. However, both DSM and EE initiatives require significant investment and logistics if implemented in the traditional approach. The contemporary Industry 4.0 principles can be effectively applied to resolve several issues. This chapter proposes a novel enterprise information system (EIS) by treating the modern power systems as cyber physical system and to manage the processes of DSM and EE. A prototype system is suggested to pave the path for EIS, and the functional characteristics are illustrated with a few data visualizations.
