Abstract

A highly efficient, redundant electrical power system is developed in Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Space Systems Design and Testing Laboratory (SSDTL). A Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation platform is designed for testing, calibration and qualification procedures of the power system. The system is based on a MATLAB/Simulink model of space qualified solar cells. A DC/DC converter generates required power for any given load depending on the solar cell model. An interface drives the converter by the information from the solar cell model. The system is connected to developed power system, in order to measure its performance. This paper explains the methods, trade-offs and the results of the project.
