Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to the field of persistent power systems and remote data infrastructure. More particularly, it relates to a system for space-based collection and transmission of solar energy, integrated in the operation of a souverous data center, wherein both areas are managed autonomously by means of artificial intelligence (AI) and controlled securely via blockchain technology.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONThe article treated in the background section should not be considered to be prior art solely because of its mention in the background section. Likewise, it should not be assumed that a problem mentioned in the background section or associated with the subject matter of the background section has already been recognized in the prior art. The subject matter of the background section merely represents various approaches, which may likewise be inventions per se.Over the past decades, the world has experienced a rapid increase in power consumption and data generation, driven by urbanization, digital transformation and industrial expansion. As the world population grows and the business is increasingly digitized, pressure on the existing terrestrial infrastructure to meet the demand for sustained energy and secure data services grows. Traditional fossil fuel dependence for power generation has resulted in widespread environmental destruction including greenhouse gas emissions, global warming, and extreme weather conditions. Efforts to change to clean energy have led to increased use of renewable energy sources on land, such as solar and wind energy. These sources () are advantageous but are fundamentally limited by terrestrial constraints such as day-night cycles, atmospheric disturbances, weather fluctuations and the availability of land.In terrestrial solar energy, the efficiency of photovoltaic generation is very sensitive to angle of incidence, vaulting, air pollution and seasonal variations. Consequently, it cannot provide a uniform power supply around the watch, especially in regions of limited solar radiation or extreme climatic conditions. Moreover, power transfer and distribution from central points of generation to remote or under-supplied locations is still inefficient, resulting in substantial losses over long distances and increased dependency on vulnerable network infrastructures. These system-related deficiencies have advanced the research of Space Based Solar Energy (SBSP) as a viable, scalable, and persistent alternative. In space, solar radiation is not only uninterrupted, but also substantially more intense, since there are no atmospheric filters and weather influences. Solar installations installed in the orbit can potentially operate around the clock and continuously generate power with high power.The core concept of SBSP-the collection of solar energy in space and its wireless transmission to the earth with the aid of microwave or laser beams-has already been proposed for decades, but has remained largely theory due to limitations in transmission technology, beam control precision, satellite positioning, energy storage and costs. However, recent advances in the fields of autonomous control, satellite miniaturization, highly efficient photovoltaic materials, AI-controlled optimization, and secure transmission technologies bring this vision closer to technical feasibility. Despite these advances, SBSP systems still have unsolved problems associated with central control, power line protocols, secure access control, and the protection of orbited equipment from cyber and physical threats. Without an intelligent and distributed framework, space-based energy systems run the risk of becoming monopolized, inefficient, or vulnerable to failures or abuse.In addition to energy crisis, another urging global problem is the lack of data management autonomy and security. Conventional terrestrial data centers are initially centralized and are therefore very vulnerable to cyber attacks, privacy violations, political censor, and jurisdiction-mediated attacks. Companies and governments are increasingly concerned with laws of data localization, foreign monitoring, and loss of control over important information. As the amount and value of sensitive personal, financial and geopolitical data continues to increase, the need for a souverous, secure and de-legal data infrastructure becomes apparent.Existing cloud service providers often store user data at multiple global locations that are redundant, but do not necessarily guarantee ownership or auditability. Souveree nations wanting to protect their digital independence increasingly explore alternative models that provide self-management, encryption security, and auditable data transactions. However, such models are difficult to implement in earth-bound countries where legal constraints are different, the infrastructure is centralized and access control is not completely transparent.Convergence of these two global challenges - sustainability of power supply and data supply - requires a consistent solution that goes beyond the terrestrial limits. There is a critical need for an integrated system that can harvest uninterrupted solar energy in space, wirelessly transmit this energy to both the Earth and orbital data centers, and utilize AI and blockchain to enable autonomous, transparent, and tamper-proof control of energy and data streams. Such a system must not only function independently of policy limits on the earth, but must also support consensus-based decision making, token-based access control, predictive resource optimization, and decentralized involvement of interest groups.This invention proposes a transformative architectural framework that links space-based solar power generation to blockchain-capable, souverous data centers. By placing intelligent energy harvesting satellites in orbit and combining them with AI-controlled beam control and intelligent contracts for energy exchange, the invention addresses both the instability of earthborne renewable energy sources and the weaknesses of the conventional data infrastructure. Moreover, it enables a transparent, corruption-proof platform for power trading and data management by intra-chain tuning and test paths. The embedded AI modules keep the system self-regulating, adapt to space weather and system fatigue, and efficiently manage power and computing power.In view of the above, this invention not only fulfills the immediate need for persistent energy and secure data processing, but also sets forth the basic block for a decentralized, borderless, and smart global infrastructure that is future capable. By utilizing the combined power of orbital solar collection, AI-controlled autonomy, and blockchain-based security, the proposed system provides a significant jump to address some of the most urgent technological and social challenges of FIG. 21.The information disclosed in this Background section is merely for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore may contain information that is not prior art and that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art in this country.SUMMARYBefore describing the present systems and methods, it should be appreciated that this application is not limited to the described systems and methods, as there may be several possible embodiments that are not expressly depicted in the present disclosure. It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the specification is for the purpose of describing particular versions or embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application.The present invention provides a space-based, solar-powered, souverous data enclave system enabled by AI and blockchain.The present invention proposes an integrated system that revolutionizes both energy distribution and data infrastructure by taking advantage of space environment. It introduces a uniform framework in which uninterrupted solar energy is collected in the orbit and transmitted wirelessly either to ground-based power stations or to souverous orbital data centers, wherein all operations are autonomously managed by artificial intelligence and transparently regulated by the blockchain technology.The frog of the invention is orbiting satellites equipped with advanced photovoltaic systems. These satellites continually collect high intensity solar radiation that is not affected by atmospheric disturbances or day cycles. The collected energy is converted to radio frequency transmit beams, e.g., microwaves or lasers, using sophisticated beam control and alignment mechanisms. These directed energy beams are then directed either to terrestrial receivers or to particular satellite-based data units in low or geostationary orbit.When the beams are directed to the earth, they are received by special ground-based rectifier antennas which convert the incoming electromagnetic radiation into usable electrical energy. This electricity can then be fed directly into the power grid or stored for later distribution and provides a scalable and renewable energy supply that is not dependent on the sun conditions on the earth. Alternatively, the energy beams may be directed to data centers in the earth orbit that function as souverous self-contained compute nodes and are powered solely with clean energy from space.The system includes embedded artificial intelligence modules that monitor a wide range of autonomous operations. These include real-time control of transmission beams, optimization of satellite alignment for maximum energy detection, predictive route guidance based on consumption patterns, and early detection of system anomalies such as thermal imbalance, hardware degradation, or external threats such as orbital scrap. The AI modules also facilitate predictive maintenance, thereby reducing the risk of system failures and increasing the operating life of the infrastructure.In order to ensure a secure, checkable and decentralized control, the invention uses a blockchain-based energy exchange platform for managing the trading and accounting of energy units. Tokenized smart contracts regulate the supply and demand transactions and provide transparency, fitness and corruption resistance. In addition, the invention extends blockchain capabilities to the management of souverous data centers by a souverous data platform embedded in each orbital unit. This platform manages access rights, computing tasks, data properties, accountings and checking protocols and enables nations or authorized entities to maintain legal control over their data infrastructure independent of Irdian right systems.Security is enhanced by the integration of a quantum resistant key management system and a zero trust architecture in which each action must be authenticated independently. All critical government functions, including software updates, reconfiguration of power routes, and changes in operating policies, are performed by consensus-controlled on-chain tuning mechanisms, thereby preventing centralized or one-way control.The result is a self-regulating, transparent and resistant infrastructure that addresses two of the most urgent challenges of our time: clean energy access and secure digital autonomy. By decoupling energy and data systems from terrestrial constraints, the invention provides the path for new era plantar and inter-plantar sustainability, digital independence and remote interworking. This innovation not only enhances energy safety and digital souverability, but also contributes significantly to achieving the global sustainability goals...BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGIn order to clarify various aspects of some embodiments of the present invention, a more detailed description of the invention will be given by reference to specific embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. It is understood that this drawing shows only illustrated embodiments of the invention and therefore should not be considered as limiting its scope. The invention will be described and explained with additional specificity and detail through the use of the accompanying drawings.In order that the advantages of the present invention may be readily understood, a detailed description of the invention will be discussed below in connection with the accompanying drawing, which, however, should not be taken as a limitation of the scope of the invention to the accompanying drawing, in which: FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the system ( 100) for space-based solar power transmission and souverous data management with AI and blockchain.DETAILED DESCRIPTIONThe present invention relates to a system (100) for space-based transmission of solar energy and for solar data management using AI and blockchain.FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the system ( 100) for space-based solar power transmission and souverous data management with AI and blockchain.The proposed system (100) is a technological integrated infrastructure developed to use uninterrupted solar energy in space and to support a decentralized framework for data management through advanced artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. The invention combines power harvesting, wireless power transfer, Souverous Orbital Computing, and decentralized digital management in a unified architecture suitable for global deployment.The heart of this system is the orbital solar collection satellite (OSCS) (1). Each OSCS (1) is equipped with highly efficient multiple photovoltaic cells capable of trapping solar radiation with minimal loss. These solar cell arrays are used in orbits such as the near-earth orbit (LEO) or the geostationary orbit (GEO), where solar radiation is maximized without atmospheric disturbances. The solar panels are dynamically adjusted by means of orientation modules on board controlled by artificial intelligence, so that the system can optimize the position of the satellite in real time for continuous solar radiation.The harvested solar energy is passed to the beam control and transmission unit (BCTU) (2) which acts as the energy distribution module of the system. The BCTU (2) is responsible for converting electrical energy into high-frequency microwave or laser beams suitable for wireless transmission in space. It is equipped with Kl-controlled optics and precision alignment mechanisms to ensure safe, focused and accurate alignment of beams on earth-bound or space-based receiving units. The AI embedded in the BCTU (2) analyzes parameters such as the positioning of the receiver, orbital mechanics, weather conditions and system requirements to dynamically steer the beam in real time.Once the energy beam reaches the earth, it is captured by one or more ground-based rectifying stations (GBRS) (3). Each GBRS (3) consists of a large array of rectifying antennas which trap and convert the transmitted electromagnetic energy back into usable electric current. These rectifier antennas are optimized for minimum losses and high conversion efficiency, so that most of the transferred energy is recovered. The power generated in GBRS (3) may be integrated into local power grids or fed into energy storage systems that provide a reliable, renewable energy source for urban, industrial or remote regions.Alternatively, the transmitted energy can be forwarded to orbital computing units, so-called Resource Data Enclaves ( 6). Each enclave (6) is a modular and autonomous data center that operates in orbit. These data centers are operated exclusively with space-assisted solar energy and are strategicly positioned so that they are not dependent on the terrestrial infrastructure. The neural Al operational core (7) embedded in each Soverign data enclave (6) manages various internal subsystems including real-time workload balancing, predictive cooling, anomaly detection, and data redundancy protocols. These cores are trained to dynamically adjust resource allocation based on incoming power availability and data processing demand.To ensure economic viability and transparent operation of the energy distribution, the system comprises a blockchain-based energy exchange platform (BEEP) ( 5). This platform allows actors, such as national governments, private companies, and utility providers, to engage in the tokenized energy trade under control of smart contracts. Each transaction is recorded in a distributed ledger, which ensures traceability, verification, and tamper resistance. The KEEP (5) also allows automatic billing, resource tracking and credit billing through consensus-based validation protocols.In addition, the system also has a blockchain-based souverous data platform (BSDP) ( 8) which is embedded in each orbital data enclave. The BSDP (8) controls data access control, task scheduling, node ownership, and operation commands. It ensures that souverous entities maintain full control over their orbital data operations while maintaining international safety standards. All of the government events, such as reconfiguration, access permissions, and storage validation, are handled via smart contracts recorded in the blockchain that provide both transparency and unchangeability.Given the critical nature of security in such a networked infrastructure, the invention includes a quantum resistant security unit (9). This module supports advanced encryption protocols that are resistant to emerging quantum computer threats. In addition, it implements a zero trust security architecture across all nodes of the system, where each action, whether local or remote, must be independently authenticated and authorized. The security unit (9) also facilitates blockchain-authenticated key management for digital certificates, private access and node references.The entire system ( 100) is constructed in a modular and scalable manner. New OSCS (1), GBRS (3) or Social Data Enclaves (6) may be deployed step by step to meet increasing demand or changing geopolitical requirements. Thanks to this flexibility, the system can be used for a variety of applications, ranging from powering terrestrial infrastructures in catastrophic areas to secure digital networks for multinational organizations. The use of AI in power transmission and data management provides autonomous operation with minimal human intervention, while the blockchain infrastructure provides decentralized control and trustless cooperation between the global participants.By combining the continuous availability of solar energy with intelligent energy transfer and secure data-height mechanisms, the proposed system provides a design for a persistent, right-free infrastructure in space. It is consistent with global goals such as goals for persistent development of the united nations and G-20 and makes a direct contribution to clean energy access, digital independence, climate resistance, and global collaboration in new technologies
