This paper describes a distributed power management system architecture for the Space Station and presents the rationale that was used to derive this configuration. The architecture provides sufficienet redundancy to be consistent with Space Station reliability requirements and provides an interface to the data management system. The architecture consists of redundant load center controllers, power source controllers for each energy storage channel, electrical power system controllers for overall management of the power subsystem, and parallel data bases for the transport medium. A data bus protocol is presented which is consistent with IEEE standards as well as the International Standards Organization (ISO) model. Trade study results are presented that identify available microprocessors and define processing requirements. Functional requirements are presented along with rationale for partitioning of man-machine roles.
