A STUDY ON SOLAR POWER APPLICATIONS: SOLAR POWER SATELLITE

Solar power is a reality. Today, increasing numbers of photovoltaic and other solar-powered installations are in service around the world and in space. The Solar Power Satellite has been hailed by proponents as the answer to future global energy security and dismissed by detractors as impractical and uneconomic. This paper reviews recent design and feasibility studies, advances made in enabling technologies and the development of supporting infrastructure. It identifies current progress towards practical demonstrations of space solar power technology that could lead to an economically viable Solar Power Satellite system. The information of the project was collected by using network and books.By using the solar power one can reduce the harmful effect on environment and provide economical, efficient and environment friendly sustainable energy.
