Electrical Power Supply System for a Maneuvering System of a Nanosatellite

Kumarin, A., Kudryavtsev, I.

Abstract.Modern CubeSats has become an attractive platform for different types of missions. Some of them involve high peak power consumers. Most of them were originally meant for heavier classes of satellites. Possibility and features of using electrical double layer capacitors (EDLC) in electrical power system for maneuvering system of a nanosatellite are discussed in this paper. Results of calculation of operation are presented. A method of effective charging EDLC in series with switching balancing is described.
