Power management 200 of a distributed or centralized battery network system 218 for use in aircraft functions and subsystems 204 comprises determining power priority of the subsystems, and selectively distributing power from the battery network system to the subsystems based on the power priority. Concurrently with distributing power, the energy in the battery network system is managed. To determine whether the battery power is sufficient for aircraft functions, the actual available energy left in the battery network systems method is also computed and indicated. This ensures a persistent power supply in the event an unexpected battery failure occurs, thereby enabling the aircraft to safely maintain flight operability despite a battery failure. |
