Abstract
This paper focuses on building an efficient Power System for a nano-satellite. The proposed idea is to harvest solar energy by means of solar panels mounted on the satellite surface. This energy is then optimized using a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) system that runs on board and the output voltage is regulated so as to allow the charging of the batteries present as in [1]. The loads on the satellite are operational on two voltages (4.2 V or 3.3 V), hence two separate buses are created so as to provide a constant supply line to the components. The battery in itself is a lithium ion battery and hence a Constant Current Constant Voltage (CCCV) algorithm exists prior to it so as to ensure the proper charging of the battery [2]. There is also a protection circuitry that acts as a failsafe measure in case the battery is overcharged, in such cases the circuitry cuts of supply to the battery. The loads are also exclusively protected from latch ups that may occur in space by means of a protection circuitry prior to it.
