Power System Diagnostic Engine

Real-Time Power Anomaly Detection and Diagnostic Software

The Power System Diagnostic Engine is real-time anomaly detection and diagnostic software stored on rad-hard NOR flash that consumes 2 W of power. Operating at a 10 Hz update rate, the software fuses voltage, current, and temperature telemetry to detect electrical faults, conduct root-cause analysis, and track predictive maintenance trends across a 100-year operational lifetime with a 500,000-hour mean time between failures. Continuous autonomous diagnostics are essential in the lunar operational environment, where radiation and dust generate unique, compounding fault modes that must be learned over multi-decade deployments and updated via authenticated DTN machine learning models.
