Background
With the rapid development of society, the electric energy required by people is larger and larger. The energy sources of coal, oil, natural gas and the like required by our power generation are limited, and the energy sources are combustedBurning these energy sources is very harmful to the environment, so it is necessary to eliminate the old power generation mode and develop clean new energy power stations in the future. The sunlight in the space is not attenuated by the atmosphere and is not influenced by the change of seasons and day and night, the solar radiation intensity is stable and is about 1353W/m2The average irradiation intensity of the ground sun is more than 5 times, so people find that building a space solar power station in the space is one of ideal novel power generation modes in the search.
Space Solar Power Stations (SSPS) attract more and more research from domestic and foreign experts with their unique advantages. Several dozen concept concepts of space solar power stations have been proposed internationally. Researches have been carried out for many years in the United states, Japan, European Union and the like, and proposals for 1979 SPS reference systems, integrated symmetrical light-gathering systems, distributed tethered solar power stations, solar Sail towers and other space solar power stations are respectively provided. Concepts such as a multi-rotary joint space solar power station and an OMEGA type space solar power station are also put forward in China.
The collection of solar energy is the first step in a spatial solar power station, the spatial solar panel structure being an important component of a spatial solar power station. Suppose a space solar power station with 1GW of power supply is to be built. In this case, the rectenna efficiency is considered to be 80%. Thus, 1.25 gigawatts of microwave power is required at the ground rectenna location to produce so much electrical output. The space satellite transmits microwave power of 1.25 GW on the ground. Assuming a beam efficiency of 87%, the microwave power required for the transmitting antenna is 1.44 gigawatts. On the space satellite, a DC microwave conversion device can convert DC energy into microwaves. Thus, the DC power required for a DC to microwave conversion efficiency of 70% is 2 GW. Photovoltaic power generation is used to convert solar energy into DC energy in space. Photovoltaic power generation has a power conversion efficiency of 20% from solar energy to DC. Thus, 10 gigawatts of solar energy are required at the spatial end to provide 1 gigawatt of available electrical power on earth. The size of the photovoltaic array required to produce a 2 gigawatt DC power output is about 10 square kilometers (2 kilometers by 5 kilometers). Such bulky photovoltaic arrays cannot be launched into space at once and must be launched in batches. However, the solar panels of the space solar power station have insufficient structural flexibility, do not meet practical requirements, and cannot increase the number of the solar panels along with the improvement of the power supply of the space solar power station.

The electromagnetic module of the scheme is a single-phase winding at two ends of the inner side of the hollow truss structure, and a constant magnetic field is generated by introducing direct current to provide a magnetic field for the electromagnetic force to push the track. The calculation formula of the magnetic field intensity is as follows:

. When the armature slides in the magnetic field, the space solar panel unit slides forwards in an accelerated manner, and the armature slides through the
electromagnetic generation module 1 and then forwards at a constant speed. The armature slides for a period of time and then enters the electromagnetic generating module 2, because the magnetic field direction of the electromagnetic generating module 2 and the armature opposite to the
