Key technologies of space environment engineering for space solar power stations

Space solar power stations (SSPS) represent a significant approach to addressing global energy challenges. However, the in-orbit operation of SSPS will be subjected to harsh space environments. First, the space environments and their effects on the SSPS are analyzed in this paper, followed by a discussion of the unique characteristics and requirements of SSPS, including ultra-large-area structures, ultra-high-power electrical systems, ultra-long-distance wireless energy transmission, ultra-high-power electronic devices, and ultra-long service life. This paper systematically investigates the key technical issues related to the space environmental adaptability of SSPS and proposes a corresponding framework of countermeasures and engineering solutions.

Abstract

Space solar power stations (SSPS) represent a significant approach to addressing global energy challenges. However, the in-orbit operation of SSPS will be subjected to harsh space environments. First, the space environments and their effects on the SSPS are analyzed in this paper, followed by a discussion of the unique characteristics and requirements of SSPS, including ultra-large-area structures, ultra-high-power electrical systems, ultra-long-distance wireless energy transmission, ultra-high-power electronic devices, and ultra-long service life. This paper systematically investigates the key technical issues related to the space environmental adaptability of SSPS and proposes a corresponding framework of countermeasures and engineering solutions.
