An electrical power management system 508 for an aircraft, the aircraft comprising a plurality of electrical power sources 512 for powering components 514 in the aircraft, the power management system 508 comprising a plurality of power management modules 510 arranged to manage electrical power from the electrical power sources 512 to the components 514, each of the plurality of power management modules 510 being arranged to manage power from at least one of the electrical power sources 512. The electrical power sources 512 may include turbogenerators 506, a battery 14, a photovoltaic panel or an energy recovery system 30 including turbines. Each power management module 510 may be dedicated to one electrical power source 512 and may function as a backup, non-dedicated power management module 510 for another power source 512 in the event of a failure of another power management module 510. The electrical power management system 508 may manage the electrical power sources 512 dependent upon environmental conditions of or in the region of the electrical power sources 512 monitored by at least one environment sensor 516.
