This paper is aimed at performing a comprehensive review of the approaches employed in nanosatellite platforms, specifically 1 U and 3 U, for electrical power systems (EPS). Moreover, it seeks to develop a robust maximum power point tracking (MPPT) controller using the sliding mode control (SMC) method. The proposed control strategy is intended to monitor the solar panel’s maximum power point (MPP) and adapt to changes in temperatures and solar irradiance in low Earth orbit (LEO). The EPS model, designed with the proposed sizing method, is built in MATLAB-Simulink and integrates a solar panel, battery storage, and power converters controlled by diverse MPPT methods. Then, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SMC approach compared to other conventional control methods for the designed EPS under varying LEO conditions. To achieve a robust validation of the most appropriate MPPT control method under steady-state conditions, this paper presents an experimental investigation into the proposed EPS hardware design. The proposed SMC method achieved an increase in power generation from 10% to 12% for buck and boost power converters, respectively, compared to traditional control methods.

“…As of 2021, more than 2000 small satellites have been released into Low Earth (LEO), Middle Earth (MEO), and Geostationary (GEO) orbits 4 for satellite assisting, space weather forecasting, aircraft and marine signal acquisition, high-speed broadband services, internet connectivity, and planetary exploration. 1,5,6 Like their larger counterparts, smaller satellites need an electrical power system (EPS) to support them during their mission. A combination of primary (non-rechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) batteries, often heated, and solar panel arrays are often used.…”

Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electrical components are becoming of interest for small satellite applications due to their accessibility, good performance, and low cost. We quantify the performance of Lithium Polymer (LiPo) COTS batteries under irradiation to assess their reliability. LiPo battery cells with LiCoO2 cathodes, nominal voltages of 3.7 V, and rated capacities of 6000 mAh are irradiated with a 30 MeV proton beam from the Middle East Technical University Defocusing Beamline, which delivers a maximum of 69 krad primary dose. Results show protons cause short-term damage, resulting in up to 17% faster discharge rates, which decreases after six months depending on the cell's position and primary and secondary deposited dose. Additionally, a consumption rate increase of up to 42% occurs for the cells under prolonged secondary irradiation (1.2 krad). The separating polypropylene layer undergoes thinning and discoloration mainly due to secondary particles like neutrons and gammas. Finally, the LiCoO2 cathode of two batteries show dried polymer binder, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), build-up, both potentially caused by discharge in a radioactive environment. Damaged cells do not suffer leakage.
