Accurate estimation of the battery system state of
charge (SOC) is essential to the satellite mission design and
fault management. However, it is difficult for low Earth orbit
(LEO) satellites to continuously monitor the battery SOC on
the ground due to the non-contact duration. To estimate the
battery SOC for the entire orbit, it is necessary to predict or
monitor the battery data for all times. Therefore, existing studies
use SOC estimation that relies on real-time onboard battery
information or utilizes probability-based technique and power
budget-based technique. The real-time onboard-based technique
is unsuitable for mission design because the status information
is not available to the ground during the non-contact duration.
Probability-based and power budget-based techniques are not
reliable during the non-contact duration. In this study, we
propose the ground-based battery SOC estimation technique that
predicts the current and voltage by using bidirectional long shortterm memory (Bi-LSTM) network for the non-contact duration
and estimates the SOC by unscented Kalman filter (UKF) for
all operating conditions. The proposed technique is tested with
in-orbit data of the KOMPSAT-3A satellite, and we demonstrate
its superior performance than other conventional ground-based
SOC estimation techniques. |
