Single battery power subsystems: On-line reconditioning

The effect of on-line reconditioning (deep discharge) on a single, Nickel-Hydrogen spacecraft battery in GEO and LEO is considered. A life cycle test was performed in both GEO and LEO to study the effect of reconditioning on the battery's end of discharge voltage (EODV). The results of these tests show that: LEO on-line reconditioning increased the EODV (by approximately 15 cycles to maximum EODV) and the EODV lasted for approximately 300 cycles, but GEO on-line reconditioning decreased the EODV slightly during the first six days and increases significantly after the seventh day. Based on the available data from the life cycle test, it has been concluded that a long life and stable voltage is realizable with the baseline architecture (single battery, single bus) without the need for reconditioning.

Evolutionary computing for spacecraft power subsystem design search and optimization

Multi-objective optimization involves finding one or more optimal solutions when there is more than one conflicting objective. This means that a solution that is better in one objective compromises or trades-off, other objectives. Trade Studies are conducted by flight projects to create mission concepts with different trade-off solutions for mass, cost, performance and risk.

High Performance Low Cost Power Conditioning Subsystems Using Smart Power/ Power Integrated Circuits in Photovoltaic Power Systems

New technologies like Smart Power, and Power Integrated Circuits are the wave of the future in providing high performance low cost power conditioning subsystem (PCS)in small to large power applications. This paper discusses circuit designs using these devices that are suitable for PCS in photovoltaic and other industrial applications such as electrical appliances, instrumentation, AC motor drives, battery chargers, automobiles, telecommunications, UPS, and switch mode power supplies. It examines the cost of high volume production and current technological barriers asociated with the development of these technologies.

Power conditioning subsystems for photovoltaic central-station power plants - Technology and performance

Central-Station (CS) Photovoltaic (PV) systems have the potential of economically displacing significant amounts of centrally generated electricity. However, the technical viability and, to some extent, the economic viability of central-station PV generation technology will depend upon the availability of large power conditioners that are efficient, safe, reliable, and economical. This paper is an overview of the technical and cost requirements that must be met to develop economically viable power conditioning subsystems (PCS) for central-station power plants. The paper also examines various already commercially available PCS hardware that may be suitable for use in today's central PV power stations.

Power conditioning subsystems for photovoltaic central-station power plants - State-of-the-art and advanced technology

An overview is given of the technical and near-term cost requirements that must be met to develop economically viable power conditioning subsystems (PCS) for large-scale, central photovoltaic power stations. Various commercially available PCS hardware suitable for use in today's central photovoltaic power stations are also surveyed. Federal and industrial activities in the research and development of advanced PCSs that will contribute to the attainment of fully competitive, large-scale photovoltaic power stations are reviewed. The status of the DOE central station PCS program is discussed.
