The increasing complexity of electric power sys- tems leads to integration and verification challenges. We consider the problem of designing a control protocol for the aircraft electric power system that meets these system requirements and reacts dynamically to changes in internal system states. We formalize these requirements by translating them into a temporal logic specification language describing the correct behaviors of the system, and apply formal methods to automatically synthesize a controller protocol that satisfies these overall properties and requirements. Through an example, we perform a design exploration to show the benefits and tradeoffs between centralized and distributed control architectures.
