SOLAR POWER SATELLITE By 08030-EC-257 SUSMITHA
INTRODUCTION • THE DEMAND OF THE ELECTRICAL POWER • WHAT IS SPS? • WHY SPS IS USED? • GENERAL IDEA • WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION • MICROWAVE POWER TRANSMISSION • IN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES • ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
NEED OF SPS • THE EARTH BASED SOLAR PANNEL WILL RECEIVE A PART OF SOLAR • THE DAY AND NIGHT ARE THE ANOTHER FACTORS EFFECTS • INCREASING GLOBAL ENERGY DEMAND IS CONTINUE FOR MANY DECADES
SPS-A GENERAL IDEA Solar Power Satellites would be located in the geosynchronous orbit
SPS • The difference between existing satellites and SPS • The microwaves would be beamed to the Earth’s surface, • This direct current can then be converted to 50 or 60 Hz alternating current
WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION • TRANSMISSION OF ELECTRICAL ENERGY BY WPT IS FAMILIAR
The 50 Hz ac power tapped from the grid lines is stepped down to a suitable voltage level for rectification into dc. • Inside the magnetron electrons are emitted from a central terminal called cathode. • A positively charged anode surrounding the cathode attracts the electrons
MICROWAVE POWER TRANSMISSION IN SPS • The microwave transmission system as envisioned by NASA and DOE would have had three aspect • 3. The collection of the microwave energy and its conversion into electrical energy at the earth’s surface.
There are mainly three dc-to-RF power converters: magnetrons, • klystrons and solid state amplifiers.
RECTENNA • rectenna is the microwave to dc converting device and is mainly • composed of a receiving antenna and a rectifying circuit.
MICROWAVES-ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES • SPS would appear as a very bright star in the relatively darknight sky • On the earth, each rectenna for a full-power SPS would be about 10km in diameter • However, the issues related to microwaves continue to be the mostpressing environmental issues.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES • The power could be directed to any point on the earth’s surface • No moving parts. • No fuel required • No waste product • The entire structure is massive. • Risks involves in manfunction • High cost
conclusion • Sps will be the central attraction of space and energy technology
