A Comparative Study of MPPTs for Nano-Satellite Microgrid Applications under Spinning Flight Scenarios

Abstract:

This paper offers a comparative analysis of Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPTs) techniques under the spinning conditions for small satellite applications. The Nano Satellite (NanoSat) is constrained on volume and mass with body-mounted solar panels and where it is dedicated to some special orientation scenarios, depending on specific mission requirements. This results in irregular solar irradiance on the PV system; thus, it needs an efficient and effective strategy to extract the maximum power transferred to the loads in the NanoSat Electrical Power System (EPS). While the EPS can be regarded a space microgrid due to control and coordination in a small electric network of distributed generations (DGs), storage, and loads. Therefore, some well-known MPPT techniques are investigated where different scenarios are carried out among conventional Perturb and Observe (P&O), Incremental Conductance (IC …
