[WIP] Power Systems Dependency Tree

The following document specifies Power Systems dependencies on other systems (i.e. what needs to be done for a Power Systems project to continue development).

BPS

High Voltage Testing - load testing

BPS needs to be thoroughly tested with the battery and able to close and open HV+ and HV- contactors robustly and conclusively. HV+ and HV- contactors determine the batteries involvement with powering the rest of the high voltage design, thus testing is delayed until then

Power Gen

High Voltage Testing - Battery charging

Array and MPPTs need to be completed to test battery charging.

Minimal

Data Acquisition

PDU Power Monitoring and Recording

Data Acq’s system architecture (data pipeline for CAN) needs to be complete for us to utilize their systems.
