INTRODUCTION

 The new millennium has introduced increased

pressure for finding new renewable energy sources
 Building a power station in space to transmit
electricity to Earth by way of radio waves-the Solar
Power Satellites
 SPS is a clean, large-scale, stable electric power
source
Microwave Wireless Power Transmission

3
WIRELLES POWER TRANSMISSION
(WPT)

4
Wireless Power Transmission

• RADIATIVE OR FAR FIELDS

• NON-RADIATIVE OR NEAR FIELDS

5
NON-RADIATIVE

• BY Magnetic fields-Inductive coupling or resonant inductive coupling

• Or by ELECTRIC FIELDS-Capacitive coupling
• SHORT DISTANCE
• USES – wireless mobile charging, pacemaker batteries etc.

6
 RADIATIVE

• By electromagnetic radiation like microwaves or laser beams.

• Can be transmitted to large distance by aiming the receiver known as
rectennas.
• USES: SOLAR POWER SATELLITES(SPT) AND WIRELESS
POWERED AIRCRAFT

(SPS)

SPS-THE BACKGROUND

 Peter Glaser invented the concept of a large SPS in

1968

The U.S Department of Energy (DOE) and the

National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) examined the SPS concept extensively
during the late 1970s.
Fresh look Study, SSP Concept Definition Study.
SSP Exploratory and Research Technology.

9
WHY SPS

Increasing global energy demand.

Limitation of renewable energy sources.

Environmental problems due to fossil fuels.

Overcome day & night effect and other factors such as clouds.

Overcome energy crisis.

10
SPS-GENERAL IDEA

It is located in the geosynchronous orbit.

Comparison between ordinary satellite.

Its operation.

About structure.

14
WORKING:

The 50Hz ac power tapped from grid line is stepped

down to suitable voltage level for rectification in to dc.
The it is supplied to oscillator fed magnetron.
Magnetron consist of electrons supplied by cathode
which are collected by positively charged anode.
The electrons are forced to move in a circular path by a
high power permanent magnet.
Electromagnetic radiation in microwave range is
generated

15
MICROWAVE POWER TRANSMISSION

How the
power gets to
the Earth

16
MICROWAVE POWER TRANSMISSION IN SPS

The conversion of direct power to microwave power.

Microwave Power transfer (MPT) [2.45 GHz or 5.8GHZ]
of ISM band is used. (ISM= Industry, Science and
Medical).
The formation and control of microwave beam with the
help of oscillator and magnetron.
The collection of the microwave energy and its
conversion into electrical energy at the earth’s surface.
 The key microwave components in a WPT system are
the transmitter, beam control and the receiving antenna
called RECTENNA

 RECENT ADVANCEMENTS

• Nihon Dengyo Kosaku Co Ltd (Dengyo) announced May 16, 2011, that
it has developed a technology to convert electric wave into electricity
with high efficiency. Dengyo
• Dengyo achieved a conversion efficiency of 90% or higher by using a
rectenna technology that converts the energy of microwave into
direct-current (DC) electricity.
• The company expects that the new technology will be used to
reduce the power consumption of microwave heating devices,
harvest energy, etc.
• This time, Dengyo newly developed a microwave-band rectenna and
a rectifier circuit and achieved a power conversion efficiency of 90%
or higher in the 2GHz band.

ADVANTAGES
The power could be directed to any point on the earth’s surface.
 Any time power , solving energy crisis.
Losses during transmission and distribution can be removed.
Zero fuel cost.
Remove physical ‘Grid and Towers’.

21
DISADVANTAGES

The transmission of electric current through this mode is susceptible

to security risk.
The entire structure is massive.
High cost and require much time for construction.
Risks involved with malfunction.

CONCLUSION

The SPS will be a central attraction of space and energy technology in

coming decades. Finally, we look forward to universal acceptance of
the premise the electromagnetic energy is a tool to improve the
quality of life for mankind. It is not a pollutant but more aptly, a man
made extension of the naturally generated electromagnetic spectrum
that provides heat and light for our sustenance. From this view point,
the SPS is merely a down frequency converter from the visible
spectrum to microwaves
