  18. Which Brings Us to the Ultimate Dream: 24-365 Clean, unlimited Space SolarPower How am I doing on time, please?

  19. SPACE SOLAR POWER: Specific Power and Minimum Installed Cost • Specific Power : • Target of most PV systems ~ 1kW per kg in space. • Present reality ~ 0.1 to 0.3 kW per kg in space • PV system mass scales linearly with power • Intensified PV: Beyond 2 Suns, Active Thermal Control System mass Launch cost alone is over $6000 / kg to GEO. Hence launch cost alone is > $6 / Watt if 1 kW/kg is achieved, and around $20 - $60 per Watt today Add system costs. Hard to see how we can do better than $10/Watt installed cost even in the long term. Compare to $1 - $2 /Watt installed cost of nuclear or wind power, or $3 / Watt of terrestrial solar, doable now with no technical uncertainty (see prices at www.alibaba.com….) $0.7 /Watt claimed for PV panels alone.

  20. Implications of Orbit Choice GEO Diffraction Limited Minimum Receiver Diameter to Capture 84% of Received Beam Power If Dt ~100m, R ~36,000,000m, l ~ 0.1m, Dr~ 88 km Molniya • GEO: Natural choice for large, permanent infrastructure. • Dr ~ 18 times Dr for 2000km sun-sync orbit • “Pilot plant” has to be huge. No evolutionary path. • “Molniya” (lightning): Long dwell over one plant. • Large, varying distance. • Sun-Sync: Comes around at the same time every day 5500 km 2000 km Non-GEO/Molniya: Must learn to deal with dynamic beaming (cellphones? beam weapons?) + constellation (GPS?). Enables global distribution from small plants and receivers: Evolutionary path possible.

  21. Dream of SSP vs. Reality Ngorongoro Viability Parameter

  22. Ngorongoro Viability Parameter Prospect of Breakeven: Need k ~1 P: price of space-generated power in (e.g. $0.2/KWHe) h: efficiency of converted power transmission to the ground. (e.g. 50%) s: (KWe/Kg): Technology of conversion, giving mass needed per kilowatt of electric power generated per unit mass that has to be placed in orbit (e.g., 0.8 KWe/kg) c: Launch cost in $ per kg to Low Earth Orbit. (e.g., $2500/kg) Technical barriers: h, s

  23. Space-based power exchange:The Space Power Grid Approach • Use space-based infrastructure to boost terrestrial “green” energy production from land and sea: argument for public support. • Full SSP(very large collectors in high orbit) will add revenue-generating infrastructure. 220 GHz beaming and orbits at 2000 km in a Space Power Grid architecture, provide factor of 26 improvement over GEO-based 5.8 GHz SSP concepts

  24. PV or InCA? Girasols and Mirasols • Gas turbine specific power rises with power level, while PV specific power is constant. • Primary gas turbine power generation can close the specific power viability gap, when used with SPG.

  25. US-India Demonstration Model Demonstrate feasibility of beaming power using few satellites and ground locations. Model development using STK Orbit-modeling software Model characteristics: 5500 km altitude, 3 to 6 satellites (near-equatorial orbits) 4 ground facilities: India (Maharashtra), US (NM), Middle East (Egypt), Western Australia 2 facilities (India & US)

  26. You don’t need 24-hour power delivery if it is between solar power stations. Afternoon Sun Scenario for SPG Phase 1 startup. • 80 minutes of access per 24 hours per location. • This orbit performs 23 revolutions around the earth every 48 hours. Ground Tracks of 6 sun-synchronous satellites at 1900 km

  27. Discussion: Knowledge Needs • Millimeter Wave & Dynamic Pointing • Generation options • Generation efficiency • Generation Specific power • Antenna geometry • Antenna mass • Waveguide specific mass • Waveguide attenuation / ACTS solutions • Phase array antenna DSP solutions • Beam profile & pointing accuracy • Health effects • Atmospheric propagation at high cw levels. • Other Issues • Sunlight collection and intensification: specific power • Wavelength separation: specific power • Narrowband PV specific power & efficiency • ACTS specific mass at high power levels • Airbreathing RLV design for large payloads (50,000 kg to LEO): • LACE, hypersonic L/D, takeoff and landing propulsion • 6. Policy implications of large SSP stations • 7. Retail power beaming & distribution

  28. Smart Grid Issues • Wireless power beaming can grow to several TW. • Drivers: renewable generation, DG, storage, e-mobility and electric vehicles. • Power-electronic interface and storage options already being developed for utility scale or microscale VLSI. • Square waves, waveform dropouts, storage methods, reactive power. • Millions of transient new mobile links, suppliers and sites. • On-demand transmission power control is necessary. • Time scales of fluctuations: day/night, to millisecond-scale cut-off of beaming • to a 60 MW highway charging station or satellite by a safety breaker. • Wind plants demand gust load accommodation with 1-second time scale. • Reactive load due to these temporal fluctuations must be accommodated and the power redistributed spatially based on demand/capacity computations done at sub-millisecond response times. • Many issues similar to VLSI- Smart Grid research underway.

  29. CONCLUSIONS • Beamed power requires millimeter waves for practical antennae. • 220 GHz window offers efficient propagation above 3 km. • Emergency Response systems in India can benefit from aerostat antenna / waveguide tether power delivery and communications. • Aerostat antennae with waveguide tethers offers scaleable solution for rural electrification in India. • Highway charging of EVs offers breakthrough in EV adoption. • Space Solar Power can be made viable using Space Power Grid synergy with terrestrial energy suppliers, primary Brayton cycle conversion and millimeter wave beaming. • A US-India power exchange provides a unique opportunity to start the Space Power Grid towards full SSP. • Roadmap to energy independence.

  32. Update on Space Solar Power from New Scientist, ~2008 Magazine: Dec.22. 2008 • Ballpark estimates for a 1 GWe SSP plant from nk: • 1 GWe at 20% conversion needs 5 sq. km in orbit • The rest (4 GW) must be radiated into Space. • 1 GWe has to be beamed down to Earth. • And received efficiently on someone’s land. • And distributed and sold at a profit. • The enterprise must not go broke. http://www.newscientist.com/data/images/archive/2631/26311601.jpg

  33. What does a power exchange buy us for SSP? • Rationale for global public investment – help the business case for terrestrial renewable power. • Global endorsement to overcome the obvious international concerns over SSP • Public investment in SSP R&D to solve millimeter wave and dynamic phase array pointing. • Revenue with breakeven at 6% ROI to launch the Phase 1 constellation. • Prove the market for beamed power, and win development support for the first 1GW station • Win public support for the massive investment needed in Airbreathing Reusable Launch Vehicles • to bring down the launch cost to launch the large SSP stations. • f) Global support and investment at the level needed to expand to TW-level SSP. Why don’t we just go ahead to build the 1GW satellites? • With what resources, how much, and why/where would you get those resources? • What is the business case? How will you achieve low launch costs? Pay for the R&D? • Why would profit-seeking enterprise invest in something without a business case? • How many votes in the US Congress would you get to win taxpayer funding? • Why would the renewable energy community support you?
