Abstract

An embodiment of the invention includes a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to carry out a method for scheduling at least one activity to achieve a time-varying energy balance of a power system. A mission plan for a mission is received. The mission plan includes at least one activity and at least one route. Each route of the at least one route includes at least one time and at least one location. A plurality of power load identifications is received for at least one time-varying power load for use in the mission plan. A plurality of energy storage device identifications is received for at least one energy storage device. Based on the plurality of power load identifications, a power requirement required to complete the mission plan is determined using the at least one power load. Based at least in part on the mission plan and the plurality of energy storage device identifications, an available power for the mission is determined. The at least one activity along the at least one route is scheduled based on the power requirement and the available energy.
