Problems solved by technology

The high-voltage solar arrays operating in low-orbit space stations, such as exposed interconnections, will collect the electron current in the space cold and dense plasma, resulting in power loss of the spacecraft power system and a drop in structural potential
Foreign studies have shown that the power loss caused by current collection can reach a few percent of the total power of the battery, and the drop in structural potential can lead to breakdown of solar cells, thermal control materials, and threats to astronauts' out-of-cabin activities, etc.
At present, there are no reports on the current collection and testing system and method for low-orbit high-voltage solar arrays

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of space charge and discharge effect current collection effect test, and relates to a low-orbit high-voltage solar battery array current collection test system and method. Background technique [0002] With the development of spacecraft technology, it has become a trend to use high-power solar array systems on spacecraft. In order to reduce energy transmission loss and reduce cable weight, the solar array usually uses high operating voltage to increase the power of the power supply system. For example, my country's space station uses a busbar operating voltage of 100V. A space station operating in a low-orbit high-voltage solar array with exposed interconnections will collect the electron current in the space cold and dense plasma, resulting in power loss of the spacecraft power system and a drop in structural potential. Foreign studies have shown that the power loss caused by current collection can reach a...
