Station Power Budget 2D: Load-Shedding Controller

A space station's life support runs entirely on solar power stored in batteries, and every subsystem — CO₂ scrubbing, thermal control, oxygen electrolysis, water recycling, lighting, comms, science — competes for the same limited watts every time the station passes into Earth's shadow. This 2D rebuild lays the same power-budget model out across three linked panels: a top-down orbit diagram showing the station crossing a geometrically-correct shadow cone, a set of live power-flow bars (array output, battery state of charge, load demand), and a scrolling strip chart of the last few orbits. Tune array degradation, orbital period, eclipse fraction and battery capacity, or trigger a sudden micrometeorite strike, and watch which subsystems survive the load-shedding controller's hysteresis thresholds.
