Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) Power Systems Library

This presentation covers the Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) Power Systems Library being developed by NASA. This library is a set of components, models, and interfaces for the NPSS language to enable building electric power system models for electrified propulsion systems. The presentation is to be given at the 3rd annual RVLT Toolchain Workshop, where attendees from across the eVTOL industry will be informed of NASA’s tools for eVTOL conceptual design from the vehicle level down through subsystems including propulsion, noise, electrical power, and others. It covers where the NPSS Power System Library fits into NASA’s RVLT toolchain and RVLT work in general, and will inform the audience of how the tool can be useful in their own work.
