Field Research for Solar Power Satellite Energy Receiving Stations

“SPS 2000”试验厂项目目前的研究阶段需要在赤道几百公里范围内的现场规划一些微波能接收天线，即“整流天线”。实地考察的最后阶段包括于1998年11月访问哥伦比亚、1999年2月访问基里巴斯和瑙鲁以及2000年2月访问加蓬，在这些国家与国家和地方政府官员和/或大学和研究机构的有关研究人员举行了会议，讨论了本国参与SPS 2000项目的可能性。所有人都热衷于参与，并确定了候选直肠位置。在这些国家中，确定了一些问题。在Insti…举行的一次会议上的参与者哥伦比亚首都波哥大的更多科学和技术促进组织(科尔辛西亚)对参加SPS 2000项目表示了极大的兴趣，并建议在哥伦比亚南部安第斯山脉的帕斯托镇附近的一个候选地点选址。纳里尼奥大学在图克雷斯有一个农业研究中心，可以与波哥大国立大学合作进行高海拔整流天线的研究。基里巴斯由太平洋上的一些岛屿组成，有人提议在该国首都塔拉瓦建立第一个整流天线。在塔拉瓦环礁中央泻湖周围的浅水上架设一座长廊可能是最合适的。基里巴斯太阳能公司已经成功地为一些岛屿的许多家庭运营了光伏发电机，并可在规划和管理SPS 2000整流桥方面发挥核心作用。在瑙鲁，如果提供帮助，对外事务主任对主办SPS 2000整流桥表现出极大的兴趣。作为一个由单个小岛组成的独立国家，资源非常有限，但整流桥的选址可以帮助开发该岛的内陆地区，过去由于采矿活动，这些内陆地区基本上无法使用。加蓬首都利伯维尔高等教育、研究和技术创新部的官员表示，加蓬政府希望合作实现SPS 2000项目。他们建议在该国东南部靠近弗朗西维尔市的地方设立一个整流桥，那里的地形是稀树草原，很容易设置整流桥。马苏库科技大学(USTM)的工作人员已经参加了一个国际地球观测项目，他们将负责合作规划和运作整流天线。较少

The current stage of research for "SPS 2000" pilot plant project requires planing a number of microwave energy receiving antennas, "rectennas", at site within a few hundred kilometers of the equator. For each rectenna this requires selecting a suitable site, deciding its size and specification, estimating the energy storage capacity required, planning the local power distribution network and its operation, and other matters.The final stage of field research involved visites to Colombia in November 1998, Kiribati and Nauru in February 1999, and Gabon in February 2000, Meetings were held in these countries with national and local government officials and/or with interested researchers from universities and research institutes, at which the possibility of their countries participating in the SPS 2000 project was discussed. All were keen to participate, and candidate rectenna sites were identified. In these countries a number of issues were identified.Participants in a meeting at the Insti … More tute for Promotion of Science & Technology (Colciencias) in Bogota, the capital of Colombia, expressed great interest in participating in the SPS 2000 project, and a candidate rectenna site near the town of Pasto in the Andes in southern Colombia was recommended. A site was visited at Tuquerres where Narinho University has an agricultural research center, which could enable research on a high altitude rectenna in collaboration with the National University in Bogota.Kiribati is composed of a number of islands spread across the Pacific ocean, and it was proposed that a first rectenna should be sited in Tarawa, the capital of the country. A rectenna sited over the shallow water enclosed in the central lagoon of Tarawa atoll could be most appropriate. The Solar Energy Company of Kiribati already successfully operates photovoltaic generators for many families in a number of islands, and could play a central role in the planning and management of an SPS 2000 rectenna.In Nauru, the Director of External Affairs showed considerable interest in hosting an SPS 2000 rectenna, provided that help was provided. As an independent nation consisting of a single small island, resources are very limited, but siting of a rectenna could help to develop the interior of the island which is largely unusable due to mining activities in the past.Officials in the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Technological Innovation in Libreville, the capital of Gabon, stated the wish of the government of Gabon to collaborate in the realisation of the SPS 2000 project. They proposed that a rectenna should be sited in the south-east of the country near the city of Franceville, where the terrain is savanna and easy for siting a rectenna. Staff from the University of Science and Technology of Masuku (USTM) who are already participate in an international Earth observation project would be responsible for collaborating in the planning and operation of the rectenna.
