Harvesting solar power from outer space !




I was driving back to my home from my office. One the way I got a
chance to hear about harvesting solar power from outer space,
broadcasted on the National Public Radio. I found it an interesting
topic to share with you all. Two different organizations JAXA (Japan
Aerospace Exploration Agency) and Solaren Corporation, California have
already started working on it and both of them have claimed that they
can produce energy for commercial purpose by 2016.
solar Plant at space
Space
based solar energy technology is an idea of going to the space where
sunshine is always constant and the intensity is at least 10 times
higher than here in earth, since it doesn’t have to pass through the
atmosphere . The idea behind the space solar energy is to collect that
solar energy in space and transmit it efficiently to the earth. Two
large reflectors would be there on space that continuously collect the
incoming sunlight and converge it into the Photovoltaic Cells array,
using the secondary mirrors as shown in the figure. The Photovoltaic
Cells arrays convert the sunlight into voltage. It is than converted to
Radio Energy and beamed down to the receiver on earth. The radio energy
used is similar to the Radio signal we use for Wi-fi or wirless
routers. The RF signal is received by the receiver on earth .The RF
energy than can be converted into electric power and passed to the
electric grid. Transmission of power through RF energy is already a
proven technology.
John Manikins, CEO
Managed Energy Technology and the President of Space Power Association
claims that a single solar power satellite plant in space can produce
up to 100 times more energy than a typical turbine base energy plant in
earth. A typical turbine energy plant can produce about 60 MW in average

We
don’t need to be surprised to see that one day we will be carrying the
electric power with us. It will be like carrying a GPS or a Radio where
we just need to tune it on to get the electrical energy. Lot of risks
and challenges are there but the upside potential is so great and high.
It’s the fact that every new project has challenges and risks.

Thanks for reading,

Impossible is nothing, just need wait.. Nikola Tesla's  was of view of similar technology but the perspective was different. He was unable to pursue his dream because of so many reasons..........
