“…In the same sense, Sucic and Capuder [42] assert that there is a need for developing standard-compliant platform which will enable streamlined integration of Distributed Multi-Generation (DMG) systems into the energy system. In other words, standards-compliant integration is an indispensable requirement for successful SG automation [11]. As stated by Järventausta et al [26], open standards like OPC make possible to develop new types of intelligent systems integrations in the context of SGs.…”

The Object Linking and Embedding for Process Control (OPC) interface provides an effective means to exchange data between automation-related entities, both hardware and software. Since its creation, it has been profusely used not only for industrial scenarios but also for other spheres, among which energy automation is an important scope. In order to portray the relevance of such protocol, this paper presents a survey of applications of OPC communication to manage systems integration in the context of energy automation.Palabras Clave: industrial communications, OPC, energy automation, Smart Grid, interoperability.

“…The developments were applied to a water facility model realized for this purpose and on a real system. The results prove the efficiency of the concept.The classical automation pyramid is transforming under the Industry 4.0 guidance into a different structure that facilitates direct connection and communication between entities [6-8].The current functional solutions from the industrial environment consist of a large variety of dispersed systems, both chronologically and by location, leading to the necessity of ensuring the interoperability of those solutions.Although the heterogeneity of devices used in industry naturally supported the appearance of many communication protocols (see [9][10][11]), the Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) was gradually imposed as the standard IIoT protocol.The studies from [12][13][14] analyze the current OPC UA implementations regarding Industry 4.0 specific digitalization solutions, while [15][16][17][18] have successfully used OPC UA for increasing both interoperability and connectivity of different automation systems, thus emphasizing that OPC UA is an essential requirement for any Industry 4.0 compliant technical system.The superior connectivity and interoperability between entities from technical systems under the Industry 4.0 guidance have led to the appearance of the data accumulation concept, which is primarily implemented in industry using historian applications [19,20].The data gathered by historian applications is mostly unused, although it opens new possibilities in the proactive historian applications area. Research towards stored data analysis algorithms and optimization strategies must provide insights into pattern identification, learning capabilities, and solid conclusions regarding real-world optimizations.…”

Industrial Internet of Things and Fog Computing to Reduce Energy Consumption in Drinking Water Facilities

The industry is generally preoccupied with the evolution towards Industry 4.0 principles and the associated advantages as cost reduction, respectively safety, availability, and productivity increase. So far, it is not completely clear how to reach these advantages and what their exact representation or impact is. It is necessary for industrial systems, even legacy ones, to assure interoperability in the context of chronologically dispersed and currently functional solutions, respectively; the Open Platform Communications Unified Architecture (OPC UA) protocol is an essential requirement. Then, following data accumulation, the resulting process-aware strategies have to present learning capabilities, pattern identification, and conclusions to increase efficiency or safety. Finally, model-based analysis and decision and control procedures applied in a non-invasive manner over functioning systems close the optimizing loop. Drinking water facilities, as generally the entire water sector, are confronted with several issues in their functioning, with a high variety of implemented technologies. The solution to these problems is expected to create a more extensive connection between the physical and the digital worlds. Following previous research focused on data accumulation and data dependency analysis, the current paper aims to provide the next step in obtaining a proactive historian application and proposes a non-invasive decision and control solution in the context of the Industrial Internet of Things, meant to reduce energy consumption in a water treatment and distribution process. The solution is conceived for the fog computing concept to be close to local automation, and it is automatically adaptable to changes in the process’s main characteristics caused by various factors. The developments were applied to a water facility model realized for this purpose and on a real system. The results prove the efficiency of the concept.

Abstract:The open-platform communication (OPC) unified architecture (UA) (IEC62541) is introduced as a key technology for realizing a variety of smart grid (SG) use cases enabling relevant automation and control tasks. The OPC UA can expand interoperability between power systems. The top-level SG management platform needs independent middleware to transparently manage the power information technology (IT) systems, including the IEC 61850. To expand interoperability between the power system for a large number of stakeholders and various standards, this paper focuses on the IEC 61850 for the digital substation. In this paper, we propose the interconnection method to integrate communication with OPC UA and convert OPC UA AddressSpace using system configuration description language (SCL) of IEC 61850. We implemented the mapping process for the verification of the interconnection method. The interconnection method in this paper can expand interoperability between power systems for OPC UA integration for various data structures in the smart grid.
