Abstract

This paper proposes a supplementary method for conceptual design of satellite electrical power subsystem(EPS). Each of represented methods for satellite electricalpower subsystemconceptual design in different references have some advantages and also disadvantages, besides in each of the methods a determined part of  this subsystem has been in focused. In this research, first advantages and disadvantages of existing approaches for the conceptual design of electrical power subsystemwere reviewed, continued with combining of previous methods, improved relationships and using some of the simulation methods plus the using of statistical databases, a complementary method with more ascendency and less disadvantages in comparison with other approaches was presented. Finally, using a data from a specific satellite and the results of the statistical design, the complementary method has been validated.
