Abstract :
The authors present a comprehensive large-signal stability analysis of a solar-array power system. The stability of the equilibrium points of a system with a typical nonlinear load characteristic is analyzed. Employing state-plane analysis techniques, the dynamic behavior of the system from an arbitrary initial condition is characterized, and the region of the desired stable operation is identified. The stability and transient response of the system operation near the solar array´s maximum power point are evaluated. The dynamic response of the spacecraft power system operating in the shunt mode and battery-discharge mode is analyzed
