Specialists at JSC "RESHETNEV" have developed, patented, and are implementing into production a promising technology for creating energy conversion equipment for spacecraft based on unified modules.
As part of the technology development, Reshetnev employees have developed and manufactured a prototype energy conversion device with a digital automatic control system.
It is intended to be used as a basis for designing and manufacturing power supply devices of various capacities – ranging from 2.6 to 20.8 kW. This only requires changing the number of unified modules in the sample and setting the necessary parameters of the automatic control system through configuration.
A new workstation – a hardware and software complex – has been created to address this task. Its software allows calculating the optimal characteristics of the device, while the hardware part allows verifying them experimentally. At the same time, the conditions of normal operation of the device in the sunlit and shadowed areas of the orbit and the impact of dynamic current loads on it are simulated.
The patented Reshetnev technology for designing a digital automatic control system for energy conversion equipment is unparalleled. It can be used in the creation of such equipment for spacecraft based on various platforms, significantly differing in terms of power consumption.
