Abstract

The Electrical Power System (EPS) for CubeSats consists of four main modules: PhotoVoltaic Solar Module (PVSM) as primary source, Power Storage Module (PSM) as secondary source, Power Regulation Module (PRM) and Power Distribution Module (PDM). The PDM provides functions for the mission in different modes and essential for critical mode, load management (switching on and off subsystems), overcurrent protection and protection against undervoltage. In this paper, reliable protection strategy of the PDM is proposed. Reliable protection is ensured by the use of redundant analog and digital electronic functions to effectively perform the space mission. Electrical schematics and PCB design for the PDM based on reliable protection strategy under CubeSat standards are presented. The analysis and test of the proposed control and protection strategy of PDM are presented to show its effectiveness.
