Method 700 begins with step 710. In step 710, the method identified present and/or future mission requirements, power needs, operational/situational environment(s), and electrical system status/health. The mission requirements assessments may be based, at least in part, on pre-defined and stored mission definitions associated with various locations, times, and sensed mission contexts. In turn, power needs may be determined via algorithms and/or pre-defined databases which associate various respective mission requirements M1, . . . , Mn with respective, associated electrical system power loads PL1, . . . , PLn. In turn, mission requirements M1, . . . , Mn may be determined in whole or in part by sensed operational/situational environments OSE.
The method 700 continues with step 720, which identifies present and/or future electrical system power source(s) and/or power load(s). Algorithms for determining power sources 110.1 may include identifying environmental factors and/or system health status. For example, a determination of time of day and weather conditions may indicated the availability or lack of availability of solar power. Other power source determination factors may include an assessment of available fuel for generators 110.1, generator system health, available battery charge, and similar considerations. The method 700 may then also prioritize various potential loads according to an assessment of total available power, possibly factoring in expected mission duration.
