SAG – Solar Array Generator: <\/b>Responsible for converting sunlight into electricity. They are composed of solar cells connected in series and parallel to provide the voltage and current necessary for all satellite systems.<\/p>

BCR – Battery Charge Regulator: <\/b>Controls the charging and discharging of the battery, ensuring that these processes are carried out safely and efficiently. It regulates the current entering and leaving the battery at levels suitable for the different satellite systems, preventing damage and extending its lifespan.<\/p>

BAT – Lithium-ion Battery: <\/b>Stores the energy generated by the solar panels for use when the satellite is in Earth’s shadow or when the demand for power is higher than solar production.<\/p>

PCM – Power Conditioning Module: <\/b>Essential for ensuring that the electrical power supplied to the equipment is stable, safe, and suitable for its proper operation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

PDM – Power Distribution Module: <\/b>This component plays the role of distributing the electrical energy generated by the solar panels or stored in the batteries to the various satellite systems, as well as performing protection and power control functions.<\/p>

Control and Monitoring System: <\/b>Monitors the health of the EPS system and controls its components to ensure efficient operation.<\/p>

Protection System: <\/b>Includes fuses and protection devices to ensure that the EPS and the satellite as a whole are protected against overloads and short circuits.<\/p>

SOLSIM – Continuous Solar Simulator: <\/b>An advanced device used to test and simulate the solar environment for space applications, such as solar panels. It provides continuous simulation of solar radiation under standard AM0 and AM1.5 spectra, which represent solar irradiance in space and in the Earth’s atmosphere, respectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
