Research on Three-Port Converter for New Aerospace Energy Architecture

The traditional design method of spacecraft power systems based on customization and the combination of two-port converters can no longer meet the increasing application demands of having high power and being modular and versatile. Three-port DC converter, standardized to form a redundant parallel power supply system with a distributed model, is a possible solution to meet the design requirements of the above spacecraft power supply system. In this paper, a three-port converter is designed to complete the MPPT control of the PV array at the input end to maximize the power generated by the PV array, complete the battery charge and discharge control, realize the bidirectional conversion and transmission of the battery charge and discharge power, and complete the control of the load voltage at the output end to ensure the stable and reliable power supply of the load. If the integrated DC converter is used to realize the power transmission and conversion between the three ports at the same time, the volume and weight of the system can be greatly reduced, and then the power density of the system can be improved.
