Simulation Study of the Operation of Space Solar Power Generation System

“2000年卫星太阳能发电系统”是一项关于卫星太阳能发电系统试验厂的建议，该试验厂将在赤道上方的低地球轨道上组装，并将通过微波束向赤道沿着一些国家的接收天线提供电力。在那里，电力将被转换回电力，供附近的居民使用。为了使这种试验工厂能够用于示范卫生和植物检疫措施的运作，用户国的合作是必不可少的，为了详细规划该系统，有必要模拟该系统的运作，作为两年研究方案的一部分，将开发一个专用的模拟计算机程序，为了使每个国家的合作研究人员都能得到，还将编写一份英文本。为了进一步发展该系统，将制作一个包括图形的版本，以便更详细地说明该系统的运作。这些方案对于规划每个国家的地面部分和设计具有必要运行能力的卫星都将非常有用，这项工作将以在10个赤道国家已经开展的实地工作为基础，这些国家都表示有兴趣参加SPS 2000项目，并以模拟单个接收天线的功率接收而开发的方案为基础，参见HideoMatsuoka等人的“ComputerSimulationofEnergyReception andUtilizationbySPS2000Rectennas”。

"SPS 2000" is a proposal for a Satellite Solar Power System (SPS) pilot plant that would be assembled in low Earth orbit above the equator, and would deliver power by microwave beam to receiving antennas in a number of countries along the equator. There the power would be converted back to electricity for use by those living in the vicinity. In order for such a pilot plant to be useful for demonstrating the operation of an SPS, the cooperation of the user countries is essential, and in order to plan the system in detail it is necessary to simulate the system's operation.As part of a 2-year research program, a dedicated simulation computer program would be developed, and in order to make it available to collaborating researchers in each country an English language version would also be prepared. It would be further developed by creating a version which included graphics in order to illustrate the system operation in more detail. These programs would be very useful both for planning the ground segment in each country, and for designing the satellite to have the necessary operational capabilities.This work will build on work already carried out in both field work in ten equatorial countries, all of whom have expressed interest in participating in the SPS 2000 project, and on programs developed to simulate the power reception at a single receiving antenna, see "Computer Simulation of Energy Reception and Utilization by SPS 2000 Rectennas" by Hideo Matsuoka et al.
