Abstract:
The Autonomous Power System (APS) project the NASA Lewis Research Center is designed to demonstrate the applications of integrated intelligent diagnosis, control and sebeduling techniques to space power distribution systems. The project consists of three elements: the Autonomous Power Expert System (APEX) for Fault Diagnosis, Isolation, and Recovery (FDIR); the Autonomous Intelligent Power Scheduler (AIPS) efficiently assign activities start times and resources; and power hardware (Brassboard) to emulate a space-based power system.
