In alternate energy source R and D there are few guidelines to assist the measurement and control engineer in his conceptual or final design; in fact, frequently the final design for one part of an advanced experimental facility is in progress or complete before the conceptual design can be started for the next phase. This paper discusses the philosophy, technique, pros, and cons of utilizing mini- and microcomputer-distributed networks to distribute tasks without stifling growth or creativity and still meeting cost and performance estimates. Also, examples of actual design solution and evolution of an alternate energy source research facility are discussed. 5 figures, 1 table.
