Power Autonomy Research and Development Environment (PARDE) User’s Guide Version 0.1.2

This document is a user's guide for the Power Autonomy Research and Development Environment (PARDE) software package. PARDE is a version of NASA's Autonomous Power Control (APC) software that can be used to evaluate fault management and automatic power system reconfiguration algorithms in a relevant system without having to fully develop all the supporting software. Software items included are a set of C++ class source files representing simplified fault management and reconfiguration logic, a power system simulation representing a notional architecture for NASA's Gateway vehicle, a web-based graphical user interface for running and testing the simulation and APC, a Docker-based automatic setup script for a development environment, and a user's guide.
