 ABSTRACT

 Solar Power Satellites (SPS) converts solar energy in to

electromagnetic waves and sends that microwaves in to a
beam to a receiving antenna on the Earth for conversion to
ordinary Electricity. SPS is a clean, large-scale, stable electric
power source. For SPS Wireless power transmission is
essential. WPT contains microwave beam, which can be
directed to any desired location on Earth surface. This beam
collects Solar Energy and converts it into Electrical Energy.
This concept is more advantageous than conventional
methods. The SPS will be a central attraction of space and
energy technology in coming decades. It is not a pollutant but
more aptly, a man made extension of the naturally generated
electromagnetic spectrum that provides heat and light for our
sustenance.
 INTRODUCTION

 Wireless Power transmission (WPT) is a useful and

convenient technology that can be employed to collect
solar energy and concentrate on earth surface without
the need for a wire connection called a solar power
satellites (SPS). This project provides an analysis of
wireless power transfer with an assessment of its
practical applicability in terms of power range and
efficiency.
 Wireless power transmission is a useful and convenient
technology that can be employed to collect solar energy
(Renewable energy) and concentrate on earth surface
without the need for a wire connection.
 EXISTING SYSTEM

 This paper introduces the system integration

techniques of WPT between satellites including the
energy control subsystem, the microwave WPT
subsystem.
 DRAWBACKS

 The microwave beams cause radiation hazard and

harmful to humans and also cause heating of
atmosphere.
 PROPOSED SYSTEM

 The proposed system presents the concept of Solar Power

Generating Satellites. The solar cells in the satellite will
convert sunlight to electricity, which will changed to
radio frequency energy, then beamed to a receiver site on
earth. It will be reconverted to electricity by the receiving
antenna, and the power would then be routed into our
normal electric distribution network for use here on the
Earth. This system provides an design of wireless power
transfer with an assessment of its practical applicability
in terms of power range. The super capacitor bank
provides a more stable power without any fluctuations.
Here we use VHF electromagnetic waves which are safe
at larger power levels and environment friendly.
 ADVANTAGES

 Free availability of electrical power though out the

year (24x7).
 Less maintenance of power station.
 No running cost.
 Environmental eco friendly power generation
without using any fuels.
 Un-intterupted power supply.

 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Solar Panel PV Array

 Solar PV arrays collect light radiation from the space and
convert them into DC electrical output.
Charge Regulator & Controller
 Charge regulator controls the charging current and voltage of
the solar panel output and stores them to the battery bank.
Super Capacitor Bank
 Super capacitor bank stores the electrical output from the
solar panels and provides to the power converter.
High Frequency Converter
 High frequency converter consists of a high frequency
oscillator which generates PWM pulses and drives the
Mosfets. Here two separate PWM pulses PWM1 and PWM2
are produced and supplied to the Mosfet gate.
 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Half bridge Driver

 Half bridge driver consists of a High frequency
transformer which converts the DC current from the
mosfets to a high frequency AC current. The primary of
the HF transformer is connected to the Mosfets and
secondary connected to the transmitting antenna.
Resonant Transmitter Antenna
 The transmitter antenna is designed with windings of
copper coils which convert the high frequency oscillating
electrical current into Electromagnetic waves resonating
ant a particular frequency.
 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Resonant Receiver Antenna

 The receiver antenna receives electromagnetic waves
from the transmitter antenna and converts into high
frequency electrical output.
Antenna matching Network
 It matches the oscillator frequency to the antenna
frequency to maintain resonance tuning of the receiver
and transmitter.
HF Rectifier
 HF rectifier consists of fast switching rectifier diodes
which converts HF voltage into DC voltage and filters the
output voltage which is utilized by the loads.
 CONCLUSION

 Space energy is not the only option for solving the

world’s future energy needs, but it is one of the most
promising. The idea of satellites sending clean
continuous power from the sun may still sound like
science fiction, but many of today, technological marvels
in the past likely did as well. The concept of Wireless
Power Transceiver system for Satellite which offers
greater possibilities for transmitting power with
negligible losses and ease of transmission is presented in
this project. With all the challenges that face wide-scale
deployment of this new technology wireless powering for
satellite transceiver is still considered as a next-
generation power transmission system.
