임베디드 OS를 적용한 전력용 디지털 장치의 개발

A Development of Intelligent Electronic Device(IED) for Electric Power System applied embedded OS

As a micro computer or micro processor technology has been advanced, the essential part which consists of electric power system has been changed into intelligent electronic device(IED), that is one kind of embedded system. There are already many parts changed into digital from analog in control and maintenance devices of electric system. These trends make advanced and novel concepts of devices and systems, that we couldn't even imagine in the analog circumstances. Now, the rate's of change is comparatively slower than IT field that is mainly represented by mobile communication, but that is a big change in the history of electric industries. Some people in those field called it Power-IT, and there have been many kinds of researches. Accelerated systems to go digital, users always and continuously demand more convenient, practical, and new functions. So, a lot of electric system manufactures have had tasks realizing many kinds of functions in an electronic device. According to the high-end technologies in semi-conductor and micro-computer field, manufactures can fully satisfy almost all of customer's needs, but there are other kinds of problems, such as large amount of program code, increasing complexity in proportion with program amount, and the hardness of maintenance and revision of the program. So nowadays, the necessity of embedded OS was emerged as a solution, and many researchers and manufactures have concentrated on studies related to embedded OS and its application.
