Abstract

For the application of high power Hall electric propulsion system on satellites, a newly developed Power Control and Distribution Unit (PCDU) is applied which owns high voltage and high power. It is used to adjust the power of the solar array and battery to form a fully regulated 100V bus. Then the bus power is delivered to the Power Processing Unit (PPU). To verify the interface compatibility between the PCDU and the PPU load, as well as the rationality of the power supply architecture design, an integrated test of PCDU and PPU has been conducted. The test results shows that the compatibility meets the requirement.
