The course covers the principles and applications of electrical power
from a systems engineering point of view. Included are an examination of
the sources of energy; an analysis of the methods of conversion of the
prime energy to electricity; a review of electromechanical, thermal, and
mechanical energy storage; analyses of power conditioning, distribution,
and protection; a discussion of high-voltage technology and electromagnetic compatibility to show the effects on electrical power systems designs and applications to small and large spacecraft.
Operational factors and the environment will be analyzed to show the
influences on selection and design to meet specified requirements. Psychological
and political factors affecting the applications and selections will be
discussed. The class will review designs that have been used, as well as
those proposed for future spacecraft. Advantages and trade-offs of the
candidate components and system concepts will be discussed, as well as
the present and future state-of-the-art of the technology.
Instructor:
Sidney W. Silverman, M.S.E.E., retired from the Boeing Co. after 32 years on electrical power systems and 6 years of work on flight test
instrumentation. Presently he is a consultant in electrical power systemsand spacecraft technology.
