Figure 3.7: Matlab simulation <strong>of</strong> the I-V curve as a function <strong>of</strong> temperature.Figure 3.8: Matlab simulation <strong>of</strong> the P-V curve as a function <strong>of</strong> temperature.3.2.5 Solar panelsThere will be two solar cells per face, on five faces. The last face is occupied by the antennas<strong>and</strong> communication ports.A non-regulated power bus has been chosen for the EPS <strong>of</strong> <strong>OUFTI</strong>-1. The solar cells <strong>and</strong>the batteries are connected to this bus. As a consequence, its voltage is determined by thebatteries (the bus is called the “batteries bus”). The next section will show that the voltage25
