Proposal Number: 1543702Principal Investigator: Seyed A ZekavatThe Workshop on Challenges for Space Solar Power (SSP) will be co-located with the IEEE Conference on Wireless Systems for Space and Extreme Environments (WiSEE). The IEEE-WiSEE 2015 Conference will be held at the University of Central Florida, Orlando, FL, from December 14-16, 2015. The overall goal of the SSP workshop is to promote SSP technology, research and education to renew interest in this area in the United States, based on recent wireless technology developments in the US and internationally. Space Solar Power (SSP) systems use solar photovoltaic systems in Earth orbit to convert sunlight to electricity, where the solar incidence is nearly 10 times greater than that at the surface of the Earth. The electricity is converted into microwaves and then beamed down to receiving stations on the surface of the Earth for conversion back into electricity for the grid. This workshop will highlight recent scientific and engineering advances in the development of SSP systems in the US and internationally, particularly in Japan, and is designed promote student participation to stimulate renewed US academic interest in this area.The workshop will be organized by Michigan Technological University with the assistance of Space Solar Power Institute. The proposed workshop will recap the current status of SSP development in the United States and internationally, and will discuss issues and opportunities needed to advance SSP systems, including government support and needed industry investment. Towards this end, invited workshop presentations from industry and academia, and subsequent panel discussions, will highlight the potential of SSP as an energy source, assess the most relevant technologies for SSP, identify the most critical technological needs for stimulating development of SSP, including the prospect of using competitions to promote SSP technology development. The SSP workshop outcomes will include peer-reviewed papers published in IEEE Xplore based on the oral or poster presentations. The workshop also aims to recruit student participants from Central Florida University, Michigan Technology University, and the Georgia Institute of Technology through travel scholarships. Students will participate in demonstrations of wireless power transfer to model race cars to illustrate SSP energy transmission principles. The workshop will set up a website to advertise the workshop and summarize its outcomes.

提案编号：1543702首席研究员：Seyed A Zekavat空间太阳能（SSP）挑战研讨会将与IEEE空间和极端环境无线系统会议（WiSEE）共同举办。 IEEE-WiSEE 2015会议将于2015年12月14日至16日在佛罗里达州奥兰多市的中央佛罗里达大学举行。SSP研讨会的总体目标是根据美国和国际上最近的无线技术发展，促进SSP技术、研究和教育，以恢复美国对这一领域的兴趣。 空间太阳能发电（SSP）系统利用地球轨道上的太阳能光伏系统将太阳光转化为电能，其中太阳入射率几乎是地球表面的10倍。电力被转换成微波，然后向下传送到地球表面的接收站，再转换回电网的电力。 这次研讨会将突出美国和国际上，特别是日本在SSP系统开发方面的最新科学和工程进展，旨在促进学生参与，激发美国学术界对这一领域的新兴趣。研讨会将由密歇根理工大学在空间太阳能研究所的协助下组织。拟议的研讨会将回顾SSP在美国和国际上的发展现状，并将讨论推进SSP系统所需的问题和机会，包括政府支持和所需的行业投资。 为此，邀请工业界和学术界的研讨会演讲以及随后的小组讨论将突出SSP作为能源的潜力，评估与SSP最相关的技术，确定刺激SSP发展的最关键技术需求，包括利用竞赛促进SSP技术发展的前景。 SSP研讨会的成果将包括基于口头或海报演示在IEEE Xplore上发表的同行评审论文。 讲习班还旨在通过旅行奖学金招募来自中央佛罗里达大学、密歇根理工大学和格鲁吉亚理工学院的学生参加。 学生将参加无线电力传输到模型赛车汽车的演示，以说明SSP能量传输原理。 讲习班将建立一个网站，宣传讲习班并总结其成果。
