Sequential Switching Shunt Regulator for Satellite Power Control System
Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering) - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
Optimum usage of the available resources for the spacecraft electric power system is the main key for success for the satellite EPS design process. Furthermore, implementing modular design of the satellite EPS improves the operation of the satellite because it (i) enables the EPS to work on different power levels, (ii) enhances the EPS integration with various payloads, and (iii) decreases design modifications required to operate the EPS on missions regardless of the height and duration of these missions. A new method for controlling the output power of the satellite solar arrays is proposed in this paper. The proposed method depends on a hybrid modular configuration where the output power of the solar arrays is controlled by linear and non-linear regulations. Moreover, the proposed hybrid configuration is implemented on a microcontroller to show the feasibility of the real-time operation. The proposed method shows its superiority over other methods previously published in literature.
