FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power supply systems of space objects, particularly incorporated with artificial Earth satellites (AES). Method consists in cycling accompanied by control over power characteristics of storage batteries (SA) connected in series in storage battery module. Tests are performed at operated AES. SA module A number is restricted by available excess power in AES power supply system. SA charge and discharge is controlled by onboard computer. SA discharge is performed by stabilised current and SA thermal state is continuously regulated in tests. Proposed method exploits device comprising solar batteries (SB) connected to load via voltage converter and storage batteries. The latter are connected to solar batteries via charge converters and, via discharge converters, to load. Load comprises onboard computer, telemetry hardware and command-and-measure radio line. Said module comprises thermal control plate with SA mounted therein, separate charge and discharge converters connected to the load of independent power supply system and onboard computer. Note here that individual discharge converter represents a current stabiliser. Thermal control plate is provided with temperature transducers and heaters while module incorporates discharge resistance. Note that said transducers and heaters are connected with onboard computer. Individual discharge converter output is additionally connected via switch with discharge resistance.
EFFECT: higher efficiency and validity.
