Conception of a bidirectional and wireless power transfer for satellite applications

Trough the years, satellites are becoming way more present around the earth. With this exponential increase, the risk of malfunction of some of them becomes unavoidable. It is in this context that on-orbit service will take place in a near future. This service will allow to replace some dysfunctional parts of satellites in order to fix them. In this master thesis, a solution is explored concerning a way to replace a dysfunctional battery if needed. This solution needs to implement a wireless bidirectional power transfer between the battery and the main power bus of the satellite. At first, the best topology is considered. Then, a detailed study is performed about this solution. In the end, the results of the implemented solution by simulation and prototyping are shown in order to validate the design.
