This work is based on a fact and the discovering of a real need in the domain of the control-command applications for energy production. A state of the art has been made and knowledge has been taken, when doing a study in the EDF Research & Development center of Chatou, about the possible replacement of actual control commands proprietary solutions in electric production centers. This study shows the need for a solution based on COTS (component off the shelf) and which could be installed at every architecture level (in the production centers and between them). Thus, we could improve interoperability, evolutivity, openness and perennity
