According to the Russian "Viewpoint" on January 23, the Japanese company headed by Mitsubishi Corporation plans to build the world's first space power station within the framework of "Cosmic Solar Power Generation" by 2025.
It is reported that experts from Kyoto University in Japan have now begun preparations for ground testing to test technologies that can transfer the power generated by the space generator set to the ground. The space power plant planned by the Japanese company consists of 40 artificial satellites equipped with solar cells. It plans to use electromagnetic waves to transfer electric energy back to the surface in a photoelectric conversion mode, and use a giant mirror located in an unmanned waters about 3 meters in diameter to receive water. equipment.
Japanese development experts pointed out that the main advantage of space solar power stations is that they are not subject to weather changes, and similar power plants with 1,000 megawatts of power are 10 times more efficient than ground-based power plants. It is expected that the first test satellite will be launched in 2016, and it will start building a truly space solar power station in 2025. The preliminary statistics for the total cost will be 2 trillion yen, or about 24 billion US dollars.
