Abstract
The Technical Facilities Controller is a microprocessor-based energy management system that is to be implemented in the Deep Space Network facilities. This system is used in conjunction with facilities equipment at each of the complexes in the operation and maintenance of air-conditioning equipment, power generation equipment, power distribution equipment, and other primary facilities equipment. The implementation of the Technical Facilities Controller has been completed at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex and is now operational. This article describes the installation completed at the Goldstone Complex and evaluates the utilization of the Technical Facilities Controller. The findings will be used in the decision to implement a similar system at the overseas complexes at Canberra, Australia, and Madrid, Spain.
