Space power, energy and life support integrated system and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a space power, energy and life support integrated system and method, and aims to solve the problems of large space load, low resource utilization rate and low system reliability due to the fact that space power, energy and life support systems are independent and low in integration level in the prior art. The system comprises a water storage tank, a gas hydrogen storage tank, a gas oxygen storage tank, a water photolysis unit, a hydrogen-oxygen-water conversion unit and a power supply management unit. The water photolysis unit performs water photolysis reaction by utilizing illumination and water in the water storage tank to generate hydrogen and oxygen, and the hydrogen and the oxygen are respectively stored in the gas hydrogen storage tank and the gas oxygen storage tank; the hydrogen-oxygen-water conversion unit is a split type hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell and a water electrolysis device, or an integrated renewable fuel cell and is used for converting hydrogen and oxygen into water for power generation and electrolyzing water to generate hydrogen and oxygen; the power management unit is used for power storage and power supply management.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integrated system and method for space power, energy and life protection. Background technique [0002] With the development of human manned spaceflight, it is necessary to build a space station that can operate stably in orbit for a long time in space, and a lunar scientific research station that can operate for a long time on the moon. In order to achieve the above goals, it is necessary to carry out in-depth and meticulous research in the field of space exploration technology. Power, energy and life protection are the three core issues of space exploration. Making full use of extraterrestrial environmental resources and realizing the integration and integration of the three are of great significance to reducing the load weight and improving the manned spaceflight capability. [0003] In the existing space station or lunar base construction plan, the power system, energy system and life support system are independent of ea...
