The Space Solar Power Workshop, 2013
http://sites.ieee.org/wisee/call-for-papers/workshop-ssp-2013/
IEEE International Conference on Wireless for Space and Extreme Environments (WiSEE)
Workshop SSP 2013
The Space Solar Power Workshop, 2013 (SSP 2013)
(Co-located with IEEE WiSEE 2013 Conference, Nov 7-9, Baltimore, MD)
Thirty seven states and many countries have initiated Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) and other initiatives to adopt improved energy generation alternatives. SSP is among the most attractive new energy sources, offering a 99.3% capacity factor (naturally baseload), with low CO2 intensity, and near zero fuel and water use. SSP would be utility-scale solar energy collection at GEO employing wireless transmission to Earth for use by existing major power grids. SSP is not yet available for RPS, although international efforts are underway to enable its adoption. For example, the June 2013 issue of IEEE Proceedings, devoted to Wireless Power Transmission, continues to increase our understanding of SSP’s key technical challenges and solutions.

This workshop plans to host major international speakers such as Prof. Koji Tanaka, the principle engineer in charge of Japan’s first Space Solar Power demonstration satellite scheduled for launch in 2016/2017. The workshop aims to present existing work and plans to continue exploring SSP’s diverse interconnected technologies, including wireless power transmission, microwave circuits, space transportation, light and smart space-based structures, tele-robotic construction and operations, orbital communication paradigms, photovoltaics, electric propulsion, space weather, and many others; and develop prize competition concepts to advance these systems and technologies.
