Design and Implementation of an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) Based Cloud Computing System for an Industrial Company

The Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) is a device switching get up automatically between the power source main source and a certain secondary source. When a failure in the primary power system automatic transfer switch change to a secondary power source. Automatic Transfer Switch can also operate more long-term standby power systems, such as local diesel generators to power electrical devices until interested power is restored. Cloud computing has the potential to greatly improve automation in industrial monitoring by providing access to scalable computing resources and data storage. With cloud computing industrial automation systems can process and analyze large amounts of data in real-time enabling better decision-making. Using cloud computing for automation can also help reduce costs as it eliminates the need for expensive on-premises hardware and allows for a pay-as-you-go model. The using of cloud computing in industrial automation can lead to increased efficiency, and productivity. In this study, an ATS was designed and implemented through cloud computing using the AutoCAD program and microcontroller (ESP-wroom-32) element in order to be provide higher speed in controlling the switching of power sources for long distances, and to providing data analysis and making important decisions. In industrial stations, the process of controlling the circuit breakers of transformers and generators is done manually. Therefore, this system was designed and implemented to provide ease of control of these circuit breakers through the cloud, as well as reduce maintenance costs and protect operators from the danger of direct switching in circuit breakers.
