The energy storage and attitude control technologies in spacecrafts are considered. The conventional technologies like electrochemical batteries, reaction wheels and control moment gyroscopes are compared to the promising Integrated Power and Attitude Control System with Variable Speed Control Moment Gyros (IPACS-VSCMG) technology. For this purpose, various energy storage and attitude control system conceptual designs are carried out, and the results are compared. Also given a simulation to show the effectiveness of an IPACS-VSCMG to carry out a roll maneuver command while its kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and drained at the same time.

Numerical comparison and sizing of sensible and latent thermal energy storage for compressed air energy storage
Kaya, Mine; Tarı, İlker; Baker, Derek Keıth; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2015)
Intermittent and variable characteristics of renewable energy systems can be compensated by energy storage systems (ESS). There is a wide range of ESS specialized for different applications. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) is often used for wind power plants due to high power rating at the discharge and long discharge duration. CAES takes ambient air and pressurizes through a compressor and stores compressed air in a volume when supplied energy is greater than demand. If demand exceeds supply, CAES is ...
Empirically Based Methodology for Thermoelectric Generation in Notebook Systems
Denker, Reha; Muhtaroglu, Ali; Külah, Haluk (2011-12-02)
Thermoelectric (TE) energy scavenging in high performance microelectronic systems has not been sufficiently developed in the past for practical use due to lack of methodology to minimize the impact of such power generation on performance. This paper describes an empirically based method to enable harvesting of excess heat with examples from ongoing work. The scheme involves detailed characterization of TE modules and notebook systems, along with co-development of correlated system models for the optimizatio...

© 2022 IEEE.Community microgrid is one of the promising pathways to achieve higher levels of penetration of distributed generation from intermittent renewables and energy storage, further electrify heat and transport and enable active energy customers. Optimal energy scheduling of wide range and large number of flexible asset, using operational information from stakeholders (such dynamic pricing rates) and relying on customer preferences has been a processing power intensive major challenge. The inconsisten...
Development of Nanocomposite Electrodes and Separators for Supercapacitors
Aydınlı, Alptekin; Ünalan, Hüsnü Emrah; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2022-2-10)
Supercapacitors or electrochemical capacitors are known as one of the most promising energy storage systems for the 21st century. Having the potential to complement batteries, supercapacitors have received a lot of attention thanks to their high specific power and moderate energy densities. Supercapacitors have various application areas ranging from electric vehicles to portable systems and devices. In particular, their fast charge-discharge feature enables integration with consumer electronics, mobile devi...
Electrochemical performance and modeling of lithium-sulfur batteries with varying carbon to sulfur ratios
Michaelis, Charles; Erisen, Nisa; PALA, DAMLA EROĞLU; Koenig, Gary M. (Wiley, 2019-02-01)
Lithium-sulfur batteries have attracted much research interest because of their high theoretical energy density and low-cost raw materials. While the electrodes are composed of readily available materials, the processes that occur within the cell are complex, and the electrochemical performance of these batteries is very sensitive to a number of cell processing parameters. Herein, a simple electrochemical model will be used to predict, with quantitative agreement, the electrochemical properties of lithium-s...
