PESWG goals and objectives include:
1. Identification of viable candidate energy systems for inclusion in the scope of PESWG studies / activities including viable aerospace power system (Lunar surface microgrid), as well as terrestrial application (Cuyahoga County microgrid).
2. Define system methods needed for development of advanced power and energy systems and technologies required to enable life‐cycle development process.
3. For each candidate system solution:
o Definition of stakeholders and the relevant needs as applicable
o Interpretation of key needs, risks, and requirements into quantifiable “measures of effectiveness” for comparative analysis
o Development of system models for simulation of performance and effectiveness
4. Demonstration of model‐based engineering methods to enable design of advanced power and energy systems including system behavior (MBSE), effectiveness, economics, and dynamics.(Energy/Exergy)
5. Recommendations on application of system methods and identification of key priorities for advancement of future power and energy system developments.
6. Define two Technical Project Plans for advanced microgrid applications that encompass advanced energy, power, and systems technologies needed to establish modular microgrids as a basic building block for aggregated electric power grids.
