HELIOS Outpost
Keep critical service safe as the binding constraint moves between fuel, filters, generation and demand.
System context
A damaged transport corridor prevents parts and fuel delivery. The outpost can reduce customer load but not equally.
Your role
You direct a remote energy installation isolated for twenty-one days.
Constraints
- Fuel runway is twenty-six days at current load.
- Low-power operation accelerates filter contamination.
- A second generator failure requires unavailable parts.
Evidence pack
Demand option
Two customers can shift 20% of load without safety impact.
Fuel response
A 12% load reduction extends fuel runway from 26 to 34 days.
Filter response
Below 62% output, filter life falls by 35%.
Generator condition
Vibration on generator B is rising but remains below shutdown threshold.
