Harnessing high-altitude solar power / Aglietti, Guglielmo S. in IEEE transactions on energy conversion, Vol. 24 N° 2 (Juin 2009) 

Public ISBD [article]  in IEEE transactions on energy conversion > Vol. 24 N° 2 (Juin 2009) . - pp. 442 - 451 Titre : Harnessing high-altitude solar power Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aglietti, Guglielmo S., Auteur ; Redi, Stefano, Auteur ; Tatnall, Adrian R., Auteur Année de publication : 2009 Article en page(s) : pp. 442 - 451 Note générale : energy conversion Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : High  altitude  stratospheric  platforms;  photovoltaic  power  systems;  solar  power  satellites;  solar  power  stations Résumé : As an intermediate solution between Glaser's satellite solar power (SSP) and ground-based photovoltaic (PV) panels, this paper examines the collection of solar energy using a high-altitude aerostatic platform. A procedure to calculate the irradiance in the medium/high troposphere, based on experimental data, is described. The results show that here a PV system could collect about four to six times the energy collected by a typical U.K.-based ground installation, and between one-third and half of the total energy the same system would collect if supported by a geostationary satellite (SSP). The concept of the aerostat for solar power generation is then briefly described together with the equations that link its main engineering parameters/variables. A preliminary sizing of a facility stationed at 6 km altitude and its costing, based on realistic values of the input engineering parameters, is then presented.
