Changing the low-voltage level of the output load power bus (27–28 V) in the power supply system (PSS) of the spacecraft (SC) to a high-voltage (100 V) allowed us to significantly reduce the SC mass in connection with the reduction in the mass of cables and energy converting equipment (ECE). However, a number of problems have arisen related to the difficulty of matching the increased voltage levels of energy sources and loads, taking into account the necessary level of reliability of the PSS. Therefore, the issues of choosing the PSS structure and methods for developing ECE are relevant and priority task facing their developers. To date, in the field of development and creation of high-voltage high-power PSS of SC, a promising direction is their design based on integrated ECE modules, in particular, on the basis of modules of charge-discharge regulators (CDR) of accumulator batteries (AB). In the article, a calculation and comparative analysis of the SC PSS structures with the connection of the CDR module to the solar battery (SB) bus and with the connection of the CDR module to the output load power bus is performed. In the course of analysis of the results obtained, it was found that both options for the PSS implementation can be optimal depending on the given curve of the SC load and the requirements for the PSS for specific energy, weightdimension and other characteristics. The final choice of the SC PSS structure should be made subject to the specific power of the ECE and the subsequent calculation of the weight-dimension characteristics of the alternative PSS. Simulation of two options for the implementation of the AB CDR module was carried out: a push-pull converter with one inductor and a Weinberg converter with a magnetically coupled inductor and an additional power diode. It is established that both investigated options can be used in the development and creation of the CDR module of the highvoltage PSS of spacecraft. However, the design of CDR module based on the Weinberg converter can significantly reduce the values of the used inductors and output capacitors subject to the required levels of output voltage ripple.
Keywords: spacecraft, power supply system, maximum power point tracking mode, battery charge-discharge regulator, Weinberg converter.
