Accelerating renewable energy generation over industry 4.0

Abstract

The “Industry 4.0” (the fourth industrial revolution) is recognized as a new industrial step inwhich horizontal and vertical manufacturing progress combination and product connectivitymay supply benefit producers to achieve higher technical achievement. However, especially indeveloping countries; limited information is known about how industries could meet theimplementation possibilities of the Industry 4.0 associated technologies to achieve industrialproduction and performance.This paper briefly reviews and describes industry 4.0 and environment for modernization. Thepaper also discusses what are the current objections met by companies especially energygenerator companies according to hydropower plant operators’ experiments. The paper offersan approach from strategic planning to operational level for the implementation of industry 4.0for all manufacturers especially the energy sector. Also new opportunities, applications andscenarios examined by introducing the technologies and tools for Industry 4.0. Finally, itreferred a conclusion and brief look of the future work.
