Design and Implementation of RTOS Based Multichannel Heterogeneous Power Hardware Embedded System

Power hardware in the Electrical refers to the physical components and equipment used to manage and distribute electrical power in various applications. This includes a wide range of devices such as transformers, generators, motors, switches, and control systems. Power hardware can be used in a variety of applications, from residential and commercial buildings to industrial and utility-scale power generation and distribution systems. The specific types of power hardware used will depend on the application and the requirements for power generation, transmission, and distribution. Controlling this system is much more complex while having an RTU system. Here this project uses an RTOS on a SOC chip that runs multiple tasks simultaneously to achieve maximum efficiency of execution. This paper develops a system that could control multiple Power Hardware Machines. Also, this Power Hardware can be heterogenous i.e., it is not necessary to have all the power hardware with similar properties, it can also be different, so it gets a heterogenous multichannel power hardware control system. To manage all these systems, it uses RTOS based control system which can respond to interrupts much faster compared to a normal embedded OS. This control system will be helpful in industrial applications where two more different machines are made to work in the same execution line. This research work also designs a dedicated HMI to interface with the supervisory controller which controls multiple machines simultaneously. In the future, this HMI can be replaced by any SBC to implement an automated controlling process. RTOS provides parallel execution based on priority. A Rate Monotonic scheduling algorithm is used to implement in the SOC to provide memory space to the highest priority task.
