description Thermal performance has long been recognized as a critical attribute for space systems. Thermal control surface coating is a common method in passive thermal protection. Unfortunately, limited analyzing models and data on the influence of thermal control coatings’ <i>α</i>/<i>ε</i> (absorptivity/emissivity) on the space power system have been published to date. To fill this gap, we proposed a multiphysics model that combined environmental temperature calculating and electrical performance analysis together for the satellite power system. In this paper, different coating materials are applied to the radiator surface and thermal insulation surface, respectively. Additionally, a new concept of energy storage, named energy storage voltage, is introduced. The results are analyzed and parametric fits with different formulas using ordinary least squares are conducted. Finally, the change rules are presented, which will prove particularly useful to the space industry, for example, in thermal designs and on-orbit battery studies.
