Multi-sensors and multi-actuators based information scheduling for gas turbine networked control systems

In this paper, we mainly investigate algorithms of networked control systems with respect to a certain type of three shaft marine gas turbine. Instead of evaluating these algorithms on the gas turbine in real-life, we first construct a platform based the Truetime toolbox under the MATLAB environment and then run simulations on this platform using two mainstream algorithms, i.e. the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) algorithm, the Rate Monotonic (RM) algorithm. Our simulation results support that the EDF scheduling algorithm is able to allocate network resources more evenly than the RM algorithm, and thus it is a better candidate of the real-time scheduling algorithm for the researched gas turbine networked control system.
