Chinese scientists have completed the first ground test of a facility to generate electricity using energy from the future. space solar station, named Juri.

Station solar power spacel (SSPS), hot spot technology, is a space-based power generation system used to collect solar energy before converting it into electricity and then into microwaves. Sunlight is brightest outside the atmosphere and shines most of the day.

The microwave energy must then be transmitted and collected by a receiving antenna in space or on the surface of the Earth, which converts the microwaves back into electricity.

Key proven technologies include high-efficiency light concentration and photoelectric conversion, microwave conversion, 55-meter microwave radiation and waveform optimization, microwave beam pointing measurement and control, microwave reception and rectification, and intelligent mechanical structure.

A 75-meter steel structure stands on the southern campus of Xi’an University. This is the Zhuri ground checkpoint.

Plan

A team led by Duan Baoyang of Xidian University is tasked with simulating the generation and transmission of electricity on land. The main technological task is to minimize energy losses when changing energy in various ways.

First, the researchers worked on adjusting the angles of the huge converging lens based on the height of the sun. In the center of the lens are arrays of solar cells connected to transmitting antennas. They tested those antennas that remotely deliver microwaves to receivers. Check successfully passed his exams on June 5, about three years earlier than expected.

Engineers of the Academy of Space Technologies. China, In 2028, they plan to conduct a space experiment on high-voltage transmission and wireless transmission of energy to low Earth orbit.

The satellite will be capable of generating 10 kilowatts and will carry a quarter of the solar cell array, a microwave transmitting antenna, a low-power laser payload, and a transmitting array of several meters to test power transmission. at a distance of 400 km from orbit.

By 2030, they plan to expand the solar array to generate over 100 kilowatts and test medium-power laser transmission over 36,000 kilometers.

By 2035, the microwave transmitting antenna is expected to grow to about 100 meters and generate 10 megawatts. The goal for 2050 is to build a commercial solar power plant generating two gigawatts of electricity, with an antenna about a kilometer long and a complex system of solar cells to be assembled in space.

“Transmission from space to Earth is our ultimate goal and requires several years of work,” Duan was quoted as saying by Xinhua News Agency. “But we can achieve some short-term goals.”

duan said, solar energy in space, it can first be used to load medium and small satellites. “Now they have to be launched with huge payloads from solar panels, and the batteries can’t collect energy in shadowed areas as they orbit the Earth.” In the near future, these satellites will be equipped with foldable receiving antennas and the solar arrays will be removed, Duan said.
