Project Area of Specialization
Project Summary
The electrical power subsystem is one of the most critical subsystems to ensure smooth delivery of power to any spacecraft. A typical EPS is composed of solar panels, power conditioning, power storage and power distribution units. This project is based on the design and development of the power conditioning and distribution unit of Cubesat. The design must provide a reliable power source by satisfying the requirements of different subsystems with power from the solar cells, regulating the voltage and protecting the Cubesat subsystems from the overcurrent associated with the device failure.
Project Objectives
- Investigate constraints in EPS for Nano spacecraft.
- Design of PCDU for a CubeSat standard Nano spacecraft.
- Software Implementation (simulations & coding).
- Optimum design of PCDU.
Project Implementation Method
