Computer Program for Design and Performance Analysis of Navigation-Aid Power Systems Program Documentation. Volume II - User's Manual.

Abstract

A computer program has been developed for designing and analyzing the performance of solar array/battery power systems for the U. S. Coast Guard Navigational Aids. This program is called the Design Synthesis/Performance Analysis (DSPA) Computer Program. The basic function of the Design Synthesis portion of the DSPA program is to evaluate functional and economic criteria to provide specifications for viable solar array/battery power systems. The basic function of the Performance Analysis portion of the DSPA program is to simulate the operation of solar array/battery power systems under specific loads and environmental conditions. This document provides all the information necessary to access the DSPA programs, to input required data and to generate appropriate Design Synthesis or Performance Analysis Output.
