MONDAY'S SOLAR ECLIPSE How Monday's Total Solar Eclipse Affects U.S. Grid Operators - Learn More: https://hubs.la/Q02s0GQ90 Electric grids across the U.S. are anticipating a rapid decline in solar generation during Monday’s total solar eclipse, which will span multiple states. NASA estimates the path of totality – when the sun is fully blocked by the moon – will last from 1:30 pm CDT (1830 GMT) to 2:35 pm CDT in the U.S. Here’s how the eclipse will affect grid operators across the country: Click the link above #texas #power #energy #solar #solarpower #usa

Good to see that Astrostrom was mentioned several times in the article! https://astrostrom.ch Actually, we believe Europe is leading the race for SBSP. But, yes, Europe (and the world) needs to master the funding challenge. #SBSP #Solaris #SpaceSolarPower #SpaceBasedSolarPower #SpaceResources
Europe is falling behind in the race to develop space-based solar power

Researchers have successfully developed and demonstrated the world’s first prototype of a 360º beam steering technology, which could pave the way to a constant supply of energy from space. The project’s aim is to power over a million homes by the 2030s, with a mile-wide complex of mirrors and solar panels orbiting 22,000 miles above the planet. According to the consortium of researchers - from Space Solar, Queen's University Belfast, Wave RF, International Electric Company Oy (IECO) and Jaltek - solar panels capture 13 times more energy in space than on Earth because the light intensity is higher and there's no atmosphere, despite clouds or nightfall.

Are mirrors in space the key to generating more renewable electricity from solar? A California-based startup wants to launch a constellation of orbiting mirrors which will beam sunlight to solar power plants to boost renewable electricity production after dark. A prototype light-reflecting satellite could make its way to orbit next year. What do you think of this idea? We’re behind anything that will help boost the generation of renewable energy.

I'm all for 100,000,000 solar + storage power plants owned by property owners in the U.S. as that has the clearest direct financial and energy security impact to individuals and local communities regardless of who the centralized power provider is. And I appreciate all the work being done by terrestrial solar + storage companies supporting our growing demand needs right now by providing large scale generation and storage for utilities. But after we've done all we can do on Earth, there's still gonna be a lot of power needs to meet. All over the globe. And even in America. To name a few: High industrial use areas that run day and night. Cities with limited space to deploy the tech needed to make free fuels useful. Weather--raindrops keep fallin' on my head and blocking solar production. Winter--daylight's short, and energy usage is high, especially as we move toward electrifying everything--even with heat pumps. Latitude--some places just don't get enough sunlight to produce the power they need. Resource consumption--while far better than the alternative of what we're doing now in terms of resource consumption, producing solar modules and batteries requires real, raw resources, and that can't be denied. Grid Stability in general--without enough storage, solar and wind can create some real headaches for grid operators when it comes predicting and producing power at the right times and in the right quantities. And those are all real issues if we're serious about a 100% renewable energy future. Enter: Space Based Solar Power. This is not a joke. It's not some pipe dream from a sci-fi book. It's something I just learned about a year ago from Pablos Holman, and I love sharing that it exists with people. The technology to make it possible has been around for a while. The cost of a ride to space has been too high, but that has dropped tremendously, and as soon as Starship reaches orbit, game on. And we need robots to assemble it all, and they're getting better all the time. Below is an article the CTO of one of the leading space based solar companies shared that you may enjoy reading if you like the idea of a 100% clean energy future, but are still having trouble getting behind nuclear (which is also a good option in its latest form, and we may need some of that too). #solar #spacebasedsolarpower #sbsp #starship #space #spaceinnovation
This The New York Times article gives a good overview of where #SpaceBasedSolarPower (#SBSP) is today. It is an engineering problem that has been solvable since the 1970's but the economics only recently worked. Its now practical because launch costs dropped, solar efficiency increased, and robots keep improving. We're proud to be mentioned for our work on this. One thing to add is why this should be done. Space based solar power is unique. It can solve the problems of energy storage, energy transmission, and scalability that are inherent with wind and ground based solar. Since power is always available in orbit and can be beamed where needed, it eliminates the need to spend trillions on continental scale transmission systems and utility scale energy storage. Because it is more mineral and land efficient, it can scale to replace fossil fuels and raise the standards of living globally. Among the feasible options today, it offers the best path to a cleaner and more prosperous world. Virtus Solis Technologies #renewables #climatetech #space #spacetech #deeptech #solar #energy

Head of Engineering Solutions, Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Office at The Chinese University of Hong Kong
In addition to the advancements in Hydrogen Fusion technology, there is another remarkable breakthrough contributing to achieving "NET ZERO." This groundbreaking concept involves the transmission of Solar Power from Space to the Earth. On March 3, a significant milestone was achieved with the demonstration of wireless power transfer by MAPLE (Microwave Array for Power-transfer Low-orbit Experiment). MAPLE is one of the three key technologies being tested as part of the Space Solar Power Demonstrator (SSPD-1) developed by Caltech's Space Solar Power Project. This pioneering space-borne prototype successfully wirelessly transmitted collected solar power to receivers in space and directed the energy towards Earth. Here are the technical details: https://lnkd.in/gBj7RtiA #Net_Zero #Climate_Change #Solar_power
