Optimal Sizing and Siting of PV and Battery Based Space Microgrids Near the Moon’s Shackleton Crater
Space mission cost and feasibility depend mainly on the size and mass of the payload. This paper investigates the optimal photovoltaic (PV) array and battery size and mass for an islanded PV-battery powered space microgrid (MG) at the lunar south pole. The PV arrays are considered to be installed on...

Space mission cost and feasibility depend mainly on the size and mass of the payload. This paper investigates the optimal photovoltaic (PV) array and battery size and mass for an islanded PV-battery powered space microgrid (MG) at the lunar south pole. The PV arrays are considered to be installed on top of towers to increase solar energy harvesting. Considering the dependency of the generated power from PV arrays on the tower height, different tower heights of 10, 50, and 100 m are investigated. The paper presents the methodology to estimate the available power from the PV system using the information of illumination time-series at the location of potential sites with different tower heights. Besides, considering the power demand of several power-consuming units at different operating states, the power demand profile of the lunar base is generated. The optimal sizing of the PV and battery system for a 1-year horizon, without considering battery degradation, results in a total mass of approximately $1.5 \times 10^{5}~\text{kg}$ to $3.5 \times 10^{5}~\text{kg}$ with a tower height of 10 m depending on the solar illumination profiles at different sites.
