Abstract :
The most recent developments in the Boeing Aerospace Autonomous Power System (APS) testbed are presented. The APS testbed is a 28 V DC system with 3 kW capability, assembled for use in developing improved control techniques for aerospace electrical power systems. The main emphasis is on the development of a sophisticated programming environment to properly control concurrent execution of multiple autonomous algorithms coupled with the continuous input/output (I/O) data flow. The integration of high-level control algorithms used for battery charge control into a real-time execution environment is discussed. This includes methods that allow several functions to respond to real-time input, affect/maintain expert system (shared) memory, and control the electrical power system configuration
