2013 Conference NOTES:


SSP Assembly Challenges      Gordon Woodcock

  • 4000 MW solar cell
  • 2000 MWe to grid(?)
  • High Temp Superconductors ??? 77K
  • 600 launches, 4e7 kg? 15km2?

  • 5.8 GHz


Introduction to Space Solar Power for the Global Electric Power Utility Market

  • WiSEE SSP Workshop
  • November 8, 2013
  • Baltimore, MD
  • Darel Preble
  • President, Space Solar Power Institute www.solarsat.org
  • Chair, Space Solar Power Workshop www.sspi.gatech.edu
  • p24 Sidelobe Graph - 0.01mW/cm2 peak at 440km radius

  • Predicted ground-level microwave power density for a full-power GEO SPS as a function of distance -Credit: J. M. Osepchuk, IEEE Microwave, “How Safe Are Microwaves and Solar Power from Space”, IEEE Microwave magazine, vol. 3, issue 4. page 58-64, Dec. 2002.
  • p34 Communication satellites are now a $250+ Billion industry per year.
  • p42 GSO launches and forecast
  • p44 picture of ATK space systems 20 meter solar sail. Conflated with solar cell? scitech_solarsails_solar-sails-2.jpglarger

    • no way to move power out of cells that thin; the cells make perhaps 200 amps per square meter at about a volt. IR drop would be awful for a large array with gossamer-thin conductors. Monocrystalline photovoltaic cells do not fold the way these aluminized mylar films do.
