Figure 4.1: P-V curve <strong>of</strong> a solar panel for several insolation values (expressed in units <strong>of</strong>G nom ) <strong>and</strong> at T = 15 ◦ C.P out = η −1 P in (4.2)where η is the efficiency <strong>of</strong> the corresponding converter. The efficiency <strong>of</strong> a converterdepends on the output current. However, for simplicity, we assume that this efficiency isconstant. The converters are indeed used in a limited range <strong>of</strong> output currents.Finally, percentages <strong>of</strong> utilization are attributed to each operation mode <strong>and</strong> the consumedpower is integrated on one orbit.4.3.1 Operation modes <strong>of</strong> subsystems <strong>and</strong> corresponding power needs• EPSEPS has two modes:• OBC1. ON: EPS is always active <strong>and</strong> 5mA are consumed (on batteries bus).2. ON+Heater: When active, the heater consumes around 500mW on the batteriesbus. This must be added to the consumption <strong>of</strong> EPS.OBC1 <strong>and</strong> OBC2 are always active <strong>and</strong> consume 10mW each. The OBC1 consumptionis 2mA on the 5V bus. The OBC2 consumption is 3.3mA on the 3.3V bus.• EPS2 (Experimental EPS)EPS2 has three modes:1. OFF: EPS2 consumes no power.42
