Secondary concentrator design of an updated space solar power satellite with a spherical concentrator

Guanheng Fan et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a design of the secondary concentrator for the updated SSPS-OMEGA concept, achieving improved solar energy collection performance and energy density distribution through optimization of Bezier curve and the Particle Swarm algorithm. The results show that effective solar energy collection and energy density distribution can reach up to 81.14% and 87.06% respectively with a Bezier curve order of 5. The study also successfully conducts further optimization for non-uniformity index of energy density distribution.

Estimation of photovoltaic power generation potential in 2020 and 2030 using land resource changes: An empirical study from China

Peng Wang et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the future dynamic photovoltaic (PV) power generation potential and predicts the relationship between the PV potential of each province in China and future electricity demand. The results show that due to land resource changes, some provinces in China will have almost no PV generation potential in 2030.

Environments, needs and opportunities for future space photovoltaic power generation: A review

Anderson Bermudez-Garcia et al.

Summary: This paper evaluates the potential and requirements of photovoltaic arrays to provide energy for exploration missions to 14 celestial bodies in our solar system. Different celestial objects have radically different environments, posing challenges for photovoltaic technologies. Concentrator photovoltaics show promise for specific missions with high efficiency, but may not be suitable for all environments. Key issues regarding materials and cell technology selection for specific missions are addressed in this comprehensive review.
