RETS (Robust Electrical Transfer System) for Solar Array Drive Mechanism
Problematic
- Understanding of arcing phenomena in space environment
- Over voltage and over current phenomena in slip-ring arrays
Solutions
- Simulation of the equivalent circuit to understand the electric phenomena (IESE-HEIG)
- Simulation of over voltage and over current conditions (IESE-HEIG)
- Arcing conditions (CRPP-EPFL)
Advantage / Results
- Knowledge of the arcing ignition conditions (CRPP-EPFL)
-Optimization of the power transfer (IESE)
CPDT (Contactless Power and Data transmission)
Problematic
-Power transfer with a DC-DC converter based a classical Flyback. Transformer composed by U-core ferrite.
Measurement not possible on rotative side. (RUAG/IESE)
-Data transfer complying with the standard MIL 1553B (IESE)
Solutions
-Power : asymmetrical transformer design for 200 W and output voltage controlled by measurement of input voltage
-Data : investigation ironless data transfer (IESE)
Advantage / Results
-High efficiency system
-Modular transformer
