Ongoing project
Design and Development of a Solar Power Subsystem with MPPT for a 6U CubeSat
Summary
The project aims to design, model, simulate, and experimentally validate an Electrical Power System (EPS) for a 6U CubeSat, with an intelligent Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller to extract maximum available power from the solar arrays under changing space enviroment.
By the end of the project, the team is expected to produce:
6U CubeSat power budget, Solar-array electrical model, EPS architecture, MPPT algorithm, DC–DC converter design, MPPT controller firmware, Laboratory prototype, Experimental performance results , Technical report and a conference/journal paper
