Power Analysis for Koreasat-3 Solar Array

In this research, the power analysis program that can be used to generate I-V and P-V curve of Koreasat-3 solar array by taking into account charged particles as well as factors affecting solar array power and using analytical solar cell model is developed using MATLAB. Using this program, the generated power capacity of the solar array can be more precisely estimated with telemetry data at any specific time during whole mission life. So, it can be valuable tool for optimum operating and monitoring of Koreasat-3 system. Also, it can be used to analyze the Koreasat-3 electrical power subsystem including solar array source.
