China's Space Solar Power Project: A Dynamic Power Transmission Breakthrough
Researchers leading China's project to create a space solar power station have successfully completed the ground verification for wireless transmissions to several moving targets at once.
The Zhuri project, which means "sun chasing" in Mandarin, will be a photovoltaic panel located in outer space, where there are no day-to-night cycles, or atmospheric interferences.
Zhuri will collect energy from the Sun and send to ground-based or space-based equipment like drones, satellites or spacecraft.
The most recent achievement includes shifting from one-to-one fixed transmissions to a one-to-many dynamic transmissions for multiple fast-moving targets.
Outdoor tests showed the system could deliver 1,180 watts of output power at a distance of 100 meters, with DC-to-DC transmission efficiency rising to over 20 percent and beam collection efficiency hitting 88 percent.
The Sun Chasing project was first launched in 2022 and is being led by researchers and scientists from Xidian University in northwest China's Shaanxi Province.
