Interactive Color-Graphics Interface for Energy Monitoring and Control Systems.
Abstract
An EMCS(Energy Monitoring and Control System) can be described as a system that automatically takes care of routine operation of equipment and provides centralized reporting and override capabilities. Equipment controlled by an EMCS would be heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment, air compressors, and small package boiler units. The EMCS would obtain raw information (data) from sensors associated with the equipment and massage the data into useful information. The information obtained from the sensors plus additional information available to the EMCS would be used to control the equipment. The information would also be available to the operator in the form of reports or in response to operator commands for specific information. EMCS are computerized systems that control and monitor energy consuming and producing equipment at Naval facilities. The larger systems have been installed with color-graphics cathode ray tube operator consoles to provide better information to the personnel operating these systems. This report summarizes the work done on defining an adequate operator console and recommends changes to the existing EMCS Guide Specifications. Originator-supplied keywords include: energy management and man-machine interface.
