NASA space power system automationInvestigations were conducted with the objective to identify technology issues in automating space power systems, rank critical technology needs, and recommend technology objectives. It was found that automation can offer significant benefits to space power systems. Automation, or even autonomy, may become an absolute requirement for system implementation. Automation of large power systems will be achieved through evolution. It is pointed out that 'systems engineering' or more specifically, 'automation systems engineering' must be strongly emphasized and done early in the development process. System control can be centralized, distributed or a combination of the two. An important requirement for automation implementation is related to the availability of qualified hardware and software components.
