Scalable Systems: Micro to Megastructure
Design studies investigating how energy systems can scale—from small autonomous units supporting rovers or outposts, to large distributed arrays powering industrial operations and mining communities.
Details
Scalable Systems: Micro to Megastructure
Overview
This body of work investigates how energy systems can be designed to scale coherently across orders of magnitude—ranging from small autonomous units supporting robotic assets to large distributed arrays capable of powering industrial and settlement-scale operations.
The emphasis is on scalability by design, rather than retrofitting growth onto systems never intended to expand.
Core Intent
To define system principles that allow energy technologies to evolve alongside mission scope, population growth, and industrial demand without fundamental redesign.
Focus Areas
Modular system logic supporting incremental expansion
Architectural consistency across small and large deployments
Distributed operation and redundancy at multiple scales
Compatibility with autonomous and semi-autonomous operation
Long-Term Impact
Scalable system frameworks reduce technical dead-ends and enable long-term planning, allowing energy infrastructure to grow in parallel with planetary development rather than becoming an early limiting factor.
