| Abstract |
This paper describes the conception and design of
a new battery regulation unit (BRU) for a minisatellite
with a regulated voltage bus. Normally a
mini-satellite has two converters, one working as
a battery charge regulator and another working as
a battery discharge regulator. This paper
proposes to use one converter for both working
modes that can be use either if the battery voltage
is over or down the bus voltage, characteristic
that increases the modularity on the mini-satellite
design, maintaining the normal efficiency and
reliability required by the space agencies. These
properties are verifyed with experimental results. |
