An analytic model for calculating the instantaneous and average orbital power available to a satellite in a circular low Earth orbit is presented. By accounting for the effects of angle of solar incidence and eclipsing, for both stabilized and tumbling satellites, this model allows for fast, simple, accurate calculations of available power without the use of complex, often expensive, numerical simulation software. In addition, this method provides the value of maximum and minimum solar power available.

近地轨道卫星太阳能发电分析模型

提出了一种用于计算圆形低地球轨道上卫星可用的瞬时和平均轨道功率的解析模型。通过考虑稳定卫星和翻滚卫星的太阳入射角和日食角的影响，该模型允许快速、简单、准确地计算可用功率，而无需使用复杂且通常昂贵的数值模拟软件。此外，该方法还提供了可用太阳能的最大和最小值。
