    Space based solar power generation using a distributed network of satellite
    (UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY, 2015) Zunaira Nazeer Ahmed
    Space Based Solar Power generation proposed a new technique to fulfill the increasing energy demand .It has high efficiency as compared to the earth based solar power generation. In this technique we will established satellite constellation at the geo synchrouns earth orbit (GEO) .At this constellation solar panel assembly is attached which capture energy from the sun at GEO solar energy will not face any hindrance as in earth based solar power generation(EBSP) for instance in EBSP maximum energy will not reach to the earth due to atmospheric attenuation , weather condition .Moreover in SBSP it will not face any such type of hurdle and at GEO 30% maximum solar energy is present .When solar energy captured by the satellite constellation it will transmitted to the earth with the help of WPT technique . In this thesis mainly concentrate on the (i) Satellite constellation architecture (ii) Power Transmission technique through space (iii) Device which used to transmit this power .In previous SBSP approach power is transmitted through the Laser transmission technique .But in this thesis we are using Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) technique to send microwave power to the earth. Research on the best material for solar panel which has maximum conversion efficiency, Research on different alternatives of SPS (Solar Power Satellite), research on different type of transmission antenna has been done in this thesis.
