Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of solar power generation, and relates to a foldable super-large concentrating mirror prepared by using an air pressure memory element, and more particularly to a concentrating mirror for space solar power stations. Background technique
[0002] The idea of building solar power plants in space has been proposed as early as 1968, but it is only recently that humans have started to really put it into action. Japan is one of the pioneers of this project, which is expected to cost US$21 billion and generate one gigawatt of electricity for 294,000 households.
[0003] The intensity of sunlight in space is 5-10 times greater than that on the ground. Solar power technology can provide constant and non-polluting energy, which is very different from the intermittent and cloud-covered solar energy on the ground, and it does not emit pollutants like fuel power plants, nor does it emit pollutants like nuclear power plants Gen...
