Using WEB technology in the control and supervision of energy consumption
Abstract
Modern information technology, which is an integral part of everyday life, may be applied in the field of supervision and control. Widely used technology can be applied relatively easily in the field of supervision and control, either in industrial or laboratory facilities. This paper shows potential application of WEB technology in supervision and indirect control of electrical power consumption within the plants of process manufacturing. Practical applications may serve as a way of showing one of the possible results of WEB technology in supervision and control. There is a structure of communication channels in which collecting and storing the data are carried out, whereby the overview of the results is particularly emphasized. The basic advantages are that there are no spatial limitations - the only limitation is the availability of a communication channel, or communication infrastructure. A standard WEB 'browser' was used and thus a general application was achieved since all modern communication devices are equipped with a WEB 'browser'.
