DINO PDR 11/3/2020 Inhibits Layout Diagram EPS Board • Main EPS uses separation switches from ICU to trigger system start-up • Connect to two FETs on the high leg of the battery, one on the ground leg • Method to get power into EPS with un-charged battery is via a dedicated SA string • Solar Array (SA) string switches will act as SA inhibits • Subsystem load switches will act as spacecraft load inhibits
DINO PDR 11/3/2020 Electrical Power System Description • Direct energy transfer system • Dual Solar-Array technologies (2 solar arrays) • • Conventional body-mount crystalline cells Thin-Film (FITS) Flexible Array • System will switch solar array strings and spacecraft loads as instructed by C&DH • • Will require 4 switches for the FITS Will require 16 (TBR) switches for the backup SA 4 switches capable of transferring less than 2 Amps 12 switches capable of transferring less than 1 Amps • • • System will use 4 A-hr Lithium Polymer cells at 3. 7 Volts for power storage 4 Cells will be in series, for a 15 V +/- 2 V battery assembly Battery charging will be accomplished using several charging modes: 1. Nominal sub-capacity charging; entire stack is charged to 95% capacity 1. This will be the default mode 2. Full-charge; entire stack charged to 100% capacity 3. Cell conditioning over-charge; as stack ages, it will lose capacity, which can be restored by judicious over-charging 4. Temperature and voltage monitoring will be the primary means of controlling cell charging
