Background, Nikola TeslaBackground, Nikola Tesla• 1856-1943• Innovations:
– Alternating current– Wireless power
transmission experiments at Wardenclyffe

WardenclyffeWardenclyffe• 1899
– Able to light lamps over 25 miles away without using wires
– High frequency current, of a Tesla coil, could light lamps filled with gas (like neon)

1940’s to Present1940’s to Present• World War II developed ability to convert
energy to microwaves using a magnetron, no method for converting microwaves back to electricity
• 1964 William C. Brown demonstrated a rectenna which could convert microwave power to electricity
![Page 8: Group 5 Wireless Oower](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061210/548ca27bb4795931018b45fa/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Solar Power from SatellitesSolar Power from Satellites
• 1968’s idea for Solar Power Satellites proposed by Peter Glaser– Would use microwaves to transmit power to
Earth from Solar Powered Satellites
• Idea gained momentum during the Oil Crises of 1970’s, but after prices stabilized idea was dropped– US Department of Energy research program
1978-1981

From the SatelliteFrom the Satellite• Solar power from the satellite is sent
to Earth using a microwave transmitter
• Received at a “rectenna” located on Earth
• Recent developments suggest that power could be sent to Earth using a laser

Microwave vs. Laser TransmissionMicrowave vs. Laser Transmission
• Microwave– More developed– High efficiency up to
85%– Beams is far below the
lethal levels of concentration even for a prolonged exposure
– Cause interference with satellite communication industry
• Laser– Recently developed
solid state lasers allow efficient transfer of power
– Range of 10% to 20% efficiency within a few years
– Conform to limits on eye and skin damage

RectennaRectenna“An antenna comprising a mesh of dipoles
and diodes for absorbing microwave energy from a transmitter and converting it into electric power.”
• Microwaves are received with about 85% efficiency
• Around 5km across (3.1 miles)
• 95% of the beam will fall on the rectenna

Then at least, 84% of the energy of the beam will be captured
Note:• This energy is not linear; 42% of the energy is not
equivalent to 1.22 GHz. • Equation (2) represent a best case scenario.• Practical antenna sizes may have to be larger if most of
the beam is to be captured.• The rectenna will have to be at least as large as Dt,
even if (2) says Dr is smaller.

Frequency AnalysisFrequency Analysis
• Such a wide beam can be focused, but only to a minimum size Dr.
• For low Earth-orbit power-beaming demonstrations, it is easier to put the smaller antenna in space and the larger antenna on Earth.
• Early demonstrations may capture only a small percentage of the total power, in order to keep antenna sizes small.– to light up a 60 watt bulb, thousands of watts may have to be
transmitted.– Since costly to launch such a power generating apparatus, the
most feasible demonstration project may be Earth-to-space transmission from a large transmitting antenna (such as the Arecibo dish) to a smaller rectenna in space.

Rectangular Transmitting antenna array CalculationsRectangular Transmitting antenna array Calculations
• Mathematics slightly different, but the same general principles apply.
• Central maximum of the beam contain 82% of the transmitted energy.
• Rectangular in shape, but will spread out more along TX array’s short direction than its long direction.
• Example: Canada’s Radar satrectangular transmitting antenna: 1.5m × 15m“footprint” on the ground: 7,000m × 50,000mfrequency: 5.3 GHzaltitude: 800,000moutput power: 5000 watts
The power is too spread out at the ground to use in a practical demonstration project.

Two more pointsTwo more points
1. Use certain transmitting methods– to reduce the level of the sidelobes– to put some of the sidelobe energy into the main
lobe– Price to pay: Larger Rectenna (because main
lobe spreads out)
2. Principal of diffraction also limits the resolution of optical systems:– Lenses– Telescopes

geosynchronous orbit, instead low orbit 1100 km (683 miles)
– Much cheaper to put a satellite in low orbit

Japan’s Recent Research EffortsJapan’s Recent Research Efforts
• Japan - 2001, Japanese’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) launched a research program for a solar-powered-generated satellite.
- By 2040, beginning of a SPS operation. The planned satellite will be able to generate 1GW/Sec. (equivalent to the output of a nuclear plant) in a geostationary orbit. The receiving antenna (rectenna) on the ground will be either positioned at desert or sea.

Advantages over Earth-based solar powerAdvantages over Earth-based solar power
• More intense sunlight• In geosynchronous orbit, 36,000 km (22,369
miles) an SPS would be illuminated over 99% of the time
• No need for costly storage devices for when the sun is not in view
![Page 64: Group 5 Wireless Oower](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061210/548ca27bb4795931018b45fa/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Cont.Cont.
• Waste heat is radiated back into space• Power can be beamed to the location where it
is needed, don’t have to invest in as large a grid
• No air or water pollution is created during generation
• Ground based solar only works during clear days, and must have storage for night. Thus it is More reliable than ground based solar power

Advantages over Nuclear PowerAdvantages over Nuclear Power
There are advantages…• Possible power generation of 5 to 10
gig watts• If the largest conceivable space
power station were built and operated 24 hours a day all year round, it could produce the equivalent output of ten 1 million kilowatt-class nuclear power stations.
![Page 66: Group 5 Wireless Oower](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061210/548ca27bb4795931018b45fa/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
Cont…Cont…
• Nuclear power doesn't pollute the atmosphere like fossil fuels. But it does produce waste. This stays radioactive for thousands of years and is very dangerous. At the moment most stations bury their waste deep underground, at sea or send it to other countries. (Britain, for example, accepts and buries nuclear waste from several countries.)

Cont…Cont…• One of the disadvantage of Nuclear• On April 26, 1986 the worst catastrophe in nuclear history
occurred in the station at Chernobyl, Ukraine.• Due to the failure of one of reactor, two people died
immediately from the explosion and 29 from radiation. About 200 others became seriously ill from the radiation; some of them later died. It was estimated that eight years after the accident 8,000 people had died from diseases due to radiation (about 7,000 of them from the Chernobyl cleanup crew). Doctors think that about 10,000 others will die from cancer. The most frightening fact is that children who were not born when the catastrophe occurred inherited diseases from their parents.

Advantages over Fossil FuelAdvantages over Fossil Fuel
• Fossil fuels won't last forever (next 50yrs)• It is not renewable• The ability to match supply to demand
may already have run out, especially for oil
• Fossil Fuel fired electric power plants in the US emits about 2 billion tons of greenhouse gas CO2 in to air every year. This courses climate change in the future via greenhouse effect.

Cost Cost
• Cost—prototype would have cost $74 billion
• “According to Kyle Datta the Oil Factor,” which predicts that oil could hit $100 a barrel by 2010.

DisadvantagesDisadvantages• If microwave beams carrying power could be
beamed uniformly over the earth. They could power Mobile Devices Eg. cell phones
• Microwave transmission– Interference with other electronic devices– Health and environmental effects

Cont…Cont…• Possible health hazards
– Effects of long term exposure– Exposure is equal to the amount that
people receive from cell phones and Microwaves
• Location– The size of construction for the rectennas
is massive and also Implementation Complexity

Sustainable energy Sustainable energy
• To meet the final goal of providing sustainable energy for future growth and protection of the environment, the design and technology for space solar power should be evaluated by the criteria of availability of resources, energy economy (payback time) and waste production such as carbon-dioxide through all the processes required for production of SPS . Power from space should be competitive with other energy sources in this respect. We also need a space solar future if our children are to live in an intact environment. They will be grateful to us
