Data-Filter Algorithm for Monitoring a Power System

An algorithm has been developed for a computer-based electronic system that would aid human ground controllers in monitoring data from sensors in the electric-power system of the International Space Station. Among other things, the algorithm encodes knowledge of human experts; thereby harnessing the ability of computers to do diagnostic calculations that human experts would do but that take much longer when done manually. The algorithm also has potential for application to a variety of systems outside the aerospace industry.
