초록

거의 모든 우주 환경에서 태양전지 열화는 양성자에 의해 좌우된다. 정지궤도는 전자 방사선 벨트에 위치하지만 태양 이벤트에서 방출된 양성자는 여전히 태양전지 열화의 주된 요소이다. 2010년 6월 26일 천리안 1호가 발사된 이후로, 2012년 1월 23일에서 29일 그리고 2012년 3월 7일에서 14일에 다년 평균 관측 수준의 약 30배 이상의 플루언스를 갖는 양성자 이벤트가 관측되었다. 본 논문은 2012년 1월과 3월에 발생한 태양 양성자 이벤트에 의해 감시 셀의 개방회로 전압(Voc)과 션트 스위치에 연결된 한 섹션의 단락회로 전류(Isc)에 대한 태양전지 열화에 대해 연구한다. 태양전지의 성능을 평가하기 위해 전압과 전류의 비행 데이터는 온도, 지구-태양 거리, 태양 각도로 보정한 후 임무 초기 태양전지 특성과 비교한다. Voc 전압은 2012년 1월 양성자 이벤트 이전과 비교하여 2012년 3월 양성자 이벤트 이후에 약 23.6mV 감소되었다. 감소된 Voc 전압은 임무 초기값 2575mV에 대해 1% 미만이다. Isc 전류는 예상대로 2012년 3월 양성자 이벤트에서 무시할 정도로 감소되었다.

In nearly all space environments, the solar cell degradation is dominated by protons[1]. Even through a GEO orbit lines in the electron radiation belts, the protons emitted from any solar event will still dominate the degradation[1]. Since COMS launch on June 26 2010, the proton events with the fluence of more than approximately 30 times the average level of perennial observations were observed between January 23 - 29 2012 and March 07 - 14 2012[16]. This paper studies the solar cell degradation by solar proton events in January and March 2012 for the open circuit voltage(Voc) of a witness cell and the short circuit current(Isc) of a section connected to a shunt switch. To evaluate the performance of solar cell, the flight data of voltage and current are corrected to the temperature, the Earth-Sun distance and the Sun angle and then compare with the solar cell characteristics at BOL. The Voc voltage dropped about 23.6mV compare after the March 2012 proton events to before the January 2012 proton events. The Voc voltage dropped less than 1% at BOL, which is 2575mV. The Isc current decreased negligible, as expected, in the March 2012 proton events.
