![Page 3: Solar Power Satellites-ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022051816/54480104b1af9f28268b4787/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
WHAT IS SATELLITE?
A satellite is anything that revolves around something ex:- moon orbits the earth…so moon is a satellite of earth….
In communication context, it is a specialized wireless receiver/transmitter that can receive or transmit signals……as per the requirement

WHAT IS SPS?
A solar power satellite or SPS is a proposed satellite built in high earth orbit that uses microwave power transmission to beam solar power to very large antenna on earth where it can be used in place of conventional power sources
The advantage to placing the solar collectors in space is the unobstructed view of the sun, unaffected by the day/night cycle, weather or seasons.

HISTORY OF SPS
Start in late 1968 Started by Peter Glaser a German
scientist in1975 on a high note Later joined by various aerospace
companies in 1980 Recently increase in demand of energy
speed up the SPS work

Power Generation
Costs Cost/Watt
Pros Cons
Solar Power
19-56 watts per square meter. Max power generation limited only by size
at a rate of <$1.00, dependent upon the size of the station
<$1.00 (employing new technologies)
Free as long as sunlight is available
Requirement of special materials ….Current technology requires large amounts of land for small amounts of energy generation
Solar Powered Satellites
230 watts per square meter up to 8.75 terawatts
70-80 billion including launch costs
<$1.00 (employing new technologies)
Can produce electricity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Satellite can be moved to transmit power to different areas globally
Extremely expensive

DESCRIPTION OF SPS
The SPS essentially consists of three parts:-
1. A huge solar collector , typically made up of solar cells
2. A microwave antenna on the satellite, aimed at earth
3. An antenna occupying a large area on earth to collect the power

HOW WILL SPS AFFECT GLOBAL WARMING?
It decreases global warming
It decreases the probability of acid rain
Helps in saving endangered species

ADVANTAGES OF SOLAR POWER SATELLITES
1. REDUCTION IN THE "GREENHOUSE EFFECT“ 2. "CLEAN" ELECTRIC POWER GENERATION 3. UNLIMITED AVAILABILITY OF CLEAN ELECTRIC POWER
WORLDWIDE WILL BENEFIT DEVELOPING COUNTRIES, SAVE THE RAIN FORESTS, AND ELIMINATE ACID RAIN
4. THE RECTENNAS RECEIVING THE MICROWAVE ENERGY ALLOW 80% OF THE SUNLIGHT TO PASS BY. BY MOUNTING THESE RECTENNAS ON FLOATING ISLANDS IN THE OCEAN, SIPHONING OFF SOME OF THE RECEIVED MICROWAVE ENERGY FOR USE IN DESALINIZATION OF SEAWATER, FOOD CAN BE GROWN IN ABUNDANCE TO FEED THE WORLD
5. MAKING WARS AND CONFLICTS BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANTS UNLIKELY
