Energy Adaptability Analysis Based on the Stall Fault of Solar Array Drive Assembly for Medium Earth Orbit Satellite
In response to the stalling fault of the solar array drive assembly (SADA) in an in-orbit MEO satellite, an analysis and research on the energy balance algorithm are conducted. This is performed under the continuous changes in the light period, shadow period, and the incident angle of the solar pane...

| description | In response to the stalling fault of the solar array drive assembly (SADA) in an in-orbit MEO satellite, an analysis and research on the energy balance algorithm are conducted. This is performed under the continuous changes in the light period, shadow period, and the incident angle of the solar panels. An output energy model of the solar panels is presented. It is proven that this model is a continuous function, and the optimal stalling angle for energy output is deduced. By simulating and calculating the energy output under different stalling angles and taking into account the on-orbit performance degradation of the solar cell array, the energy output curve within one orbital period is obtained, which provides support for the on-orbit operation and maintenance of the satellite. Moreover, on-orbit verification was carried out in the case of a stalling fault of the -Y-wing SADA of a certain MEO-orbiting satellite. |
