Electrical Power System By Aziatun Burhan
Overview Design goal requirements throughout mission operation: • Energy source generates enough electrical power • Energy storage stores electrical power • Power distribution distributes electrical power • Power regulation controls electrical power • For a slide like this enlarge the font to fill the slide or fill space with a picture (check other slides as well)
Trade studies summary • This trade study examines the option of using only non-rechargeable battery vs solar cells+rechargeable battery system as satellite’s power source. To meet NANOsat requirements, a power source that has low mass and small size is desirable for this mission. • Try to make this slide into a couple of bullets rather than sentences
Solar cells vs Battery • Factors that effect trade study: - Total power consumption and power profile during the mission - Mission life of satellite : 24 hours - Mass and area constraints that come from NANOsat requirement * Solar cells can produce lots of power with little increase in total mass * If power consumption is large, the mass and size of non-rechargeable battery could be greater. - Choice of orbit and type of attitude control - Operating environment
Solar cells vs Battery • We choose solar cells as the main power source with rechargeable battery to store energy and to provide power during eclipse - Solar cells+ battery has little increase in mass for larger increase in power consumption - Fewer non rechargeable battery that is qualified for space application
Solar cells • Ultra triple junction Gallium Arsenide solar cell • 28.0 % BOL efficiency • 2.31 V, 16.3 mA/cm² ( ~0.96 W/ cell) • 2.3g Customized size: 3.69 cm Area per cell: ~ 25cm² 6.85cm
Solar cells layout & assemblies Sides (A) • 5 identical solar panels • Power source: Direct sunlight, at 45 ° angle • from normal direction of plane • 91 UTJ GaAs solar cells per side • - 13 solar cells per string : 30 V • - 7 strings : 2.85 A • 40.68 Watt minimum per side during • daylight • Dimension : 48 cm x 48 cm • Area: 2275 cm²
Assumption: • 2 sides are exposed in direct sunlight at one time. • Solar flux is at constant value of 1353 W/m^2 • Worst case hot temperature was used to find thermal efficiency for a solar cell , therefore the calculated power output from the a solar panel is the minimum value. • Enlarge the font
