The planning and organization of the design tasks necessary to develop and optimize an electrical power distribution system for a manned space station are described, including the technical management of major issues relevant to the Space Station program. These issues include 20 kHz distribution technology problems to be addressed, distribution system architecture and development with related full-power and partial-power performance and reliability considerations. The trade studies conducted to resolve such issues as modularity benefits versus double-voltage benefits are also discussed. The special considerations and testing required to develop and demonstrate a viable Space Station buildup capability with a minimum of extravehicular activity are treated. Additionally, the user interface requirements, the power source interface requirements, and the data base development are addressed and commonality benefits are assessed. Conclusions and definitive design information are omitted because this paper presents an interim effort on a major Space Station development program which is now in progress.
