Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 控制工程系 === 82 === It has been known that Taiwan will launch the first satellite, ROCSAT-1, in the ionosphere orbit in 1997. Many instruments and devices will be set in the satellite. However, it is unavoidable that the temperature of environment changes very much. To assure the instruments work normally, a temperature control system is needed. Temperature control systems adopted in the satellite are usually classified into passive system and active system. An active temperature control system using heaters is proposed in this thesis. Two major steps are proposed for design the system: one is to develop the modeling system which can simulate the thermal conduction and radiation effects of an empty cubic instruments; and the other one is using the developed models to design a temperature control system. Since the temperature model is nonlinear, a system identification technique is applied to approximately linearize the system. Furthermore, a linear quadratic regulator theory is used here to design a bang-bang controller. Simulation results show that the system is stable and the performance is good. Finally, we estimate the error for providing the guidance for arranging the heater-positions.
