Based on the above determinations—available power sources 110.1 and expected, mission-specific loads 110.2—in step 730 the method determine appropriate power conversion requirements for one or more adaptable power converters 500, and for their internal A-PEBB LRU(s) 200.A.
For example, a first mission (at a first point in time) may utilize AC power from a generator to support multiple DC loads, with a lone or primary requirements for AC-to-DC power conversion with low output voltages. At a later point in time, a different mission may only have available DC power (from batteries or solar power, for example) which must support multiple AC and DC loads, and so require system-wide DC-to-AC power conversion with high voltage or current requirements. Based on such assessments, step 730 identifies the contextual, mission specific conversion requirements for the power converter(s) 500 and their internal A-PEBB LRU(s) 200.A.
The method continues with step 740. In step 740, and based on the required, respective power conversion modes RPCM1, . . . , RPCMx for A-PEBB LRU(s) APEBBLRU.1, . . . , APEBBLRU.(x?1), APEBBLRU.x, the method determines the appropriate internal open/closed states for the numerous contactors 350 of specific power stages A-PS.1.1, A-PS.1.2, . . . , A-PS.(x?1). 1, . . . A-PS.(x?1).2, A-PS.x.1, . . . A-PS.x.2. These required states for contactors 350 may be based for example on stored versions of Table Λ 390 and/or Table β 680.
