Power Processing Unit is a specialized electronic system that converts and regulates electrical power from a primary source to the precise voltage, current, and frequency requirements of an electric propulsion system’s thruster, distinguishing it from general power supplies through its integration of high-efficiency, high-reliability control algorithms and topologies tailored for spacecraft propulsion applications.
