Many space-based and aircraft-based electrical power systems must share electrical sources either for redundancy or because of excessive scheduled load capacity. The design of these shared resource systems, particularly in early design phases, is very difficult. A tool to assist designers in a what-if evaluation of an optimum system design which matches multiple sources to multiple loads for a given bus architecture would be very valuable. The optimization would minimize monetary cost which includes minimizing mass. The work reported here describes the approach to developing a proof-ofconcept of such a tool and focuses on possible optimization algorithms. |
