Abstract
The definition and preliminary design study effort for the Space Station Electric Power System is described. The requirements to be met by the Power System, the characteristics of the major technology options being considered, and the approach to be taken in the definition studies are considered. The role of advanced development in the definition process and the specific tasks to be performed in the preliminary design study are reviewed. The NASA approach to managing the complex Power System interfaces across the Space Station is also discussed.
