BALLOON-TO-SPACE POWER SYSTEM (BSPS) Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B64G1/42 

FIELD: power engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to power supply systems for ground-based consumers from space. System includes a solar power plant in the form of N≥1 interconnected independent modules. Autonomous modules consist of independent photo-converting modules with film spherical concentrators of solar radiation and focusing laser beam with mirror systems in the form of closed spheroidal cavities, filled with inert gas and equipped with systems of adaptive correction of thermo-optical distortions of spheroidal cavities. Intermediate point of energy reception is arranged above cloud zone and is made in form of K≥1 autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with a system of displacement and stabilization engines and a system of spherical concentrators of laser radiation, optically conjugated with segmented photoconverters of laser radiation into super-high frequency signal, and antenna super-high frequency devices with guidance system for super-high frequency transmission P≥1 independent ground consumers, spatially distributed over the Earth's surface.

EFFECT: technical result of invention is provision of power supply to consumers in hard-to-access regions of the Earth's surface.
