Solar Panel Design for CubeSat
Project Area of Specialization
Project Summary
The project is about simulating, modeling and designing solar panels for a 3U CubeSat and with the major objective of achieving maximum efficiency. As these solar panels are the main source of power delivered to all the satellite's subsystems, the design will provide input to the power conditioning and distribution in order to provide a stable output voltage to satellite subsystems. Furthermore, we also investigate the integrated printed magnetometers to be placed inside the solar panel unit for satellite attitude control.
Project Objectives
- Modelling and simulating solar cells and optimum placement of selected cells in 3U CubeSat compliant panels.
- Integration of attitude determination coils in the panels.
- Designing the solar panel as per provided requirements.
- Software Implementation (simulations & coding).
- Hardware implementation on PCB.
Project Implementation Method
- Designing the solar panel using simulation tools.
- Software Implementation:
i) Coding of the microcontroller using MPLab.
ii) Schematic Design on Proteus. - PCB designing using Altium Designer or Proteus.
