This paper presents a research study on control strategies for satellite’s Electrical Power System. SPACE Grid, which is a collaboration between the CNES, Airbus Defence and Space and the LAPLACE laboratory, consists in the modelling and determination of power management strategies on a new electrical architecture based on distributed Power Conditioning and Distribution Units. Are presented the models developed and the primary control implemented, inspired from ground-based DC micro-grids techniques. Future improvements and high-level control are also discussed at the end of the paper.
