Micro-grid Definition and Interface Converter for Planetary Surface (MIPS)
Completed NASA Game Changing Development project led by Glenn Research Center that defined an evolvable, reconfigurable, reliable, and sustainable micro-grid architecture for phased lunar surface operations. MIPS translated lunar power needs into interoperable generation, storage, distribution, and interface requirements, with reference converters and interfaces that help future users and loads scale across surface infrastructure.
