| Summary: | In this project an automated IV-measurement circuit able towithstand stratospheric conditions was developed. It was made to bepart of an experiment which will be executed at an altitude ofapproximately 27 km. The IV-measurements aim to conclude the powergenerated by the solar panels during the flight. The circuit is ableto adapt to different solar panels by use of a feedback circuit thatis able to adjust the voltage through varying resistor ratios.Different solar panels have been tested with the circuit in sunlightand the results show that it is successful in performing the intendedmeasurements. The circuit has also been tested in -80°C as well as0.01 kPa with no reduced functionability, which means it is wellfitted for stratospheric conditions.Tryckt av: |
