Space photovoltaic power generation system
First Claim
1. A space photovoltaic generation system comprising:
- a plurality of power generation satellites each having;
a photoelectric conversion unit for converting sunlight into electric energy;
a transmission frequency conversion unit for performing frequency conversion of the electric energy provided by the photoelectric conversion unit to a microwave;
a microwave control unit for controlling at least one of the amplitude and the phase of the microwave output by the transmission frequency conversion unit; and
a transmitting antenna for radiating the microwave, and a power base having;
a receiving antenna for receiving the microwave radiated from the power generation satellites; and
a reception frequency conversion unit for performing frequency conversion of the microwave received at the receiving antenna to one of DC and low-frequency commercial power, wherein the plurality of power generation satellites are placed in space to form a power generation satellite group; and
wherein a first array antenna having the transmitting antennas of the power generation satellites in the power generation satellite group as element antennas is formed.

Abstract
A power generation satellite has a photoelectric conversion unit for converting sunlight into electric energy, a transmission frequency conversion unit for performing frequency conversion of the electric energy to a microwave, a microwave control unit for controlling the amplitude, the phase, or the amplitude and the phase of the microwave, and a transmitting antenna for radiating the microwave. A plurality of the power generation satellites are placed in space to form a power generation satellite group and an array antenna having the transmitting antennas of the power generation satellites in the power generation satellite group as element antennas is formed.
