Detailed Description
The following describes embodiments of the present invention in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the world, in the face of serious energy and environmental problems, various renewable energy sources and new energy sources developed at present, including ground solar energy, wind energy, water energy, nuclear energy, ocean energy, geothermal energy and biological energy, have the problems of unstable energy, limited energy total amount or safety and the like, and are difficult to replace the traditional fossil energy sources on a large scale. Solar energy is the most abundant and clean energy, but the fluctuation of energy density is very large due to the influence of day and night, atmosphere and weather, and ground solar energy can only rely on a large-scale power storage device to ensure the stability of power supply. The solar energy is utilized in the space, the influence of seasons, day and night changes and the like is avoided, and the received energy density is high and is about 1353 watts per square meter. Meanwhile, energy transmission is carried out through microwaves which are not influenced by the atmosphere and are suitable for frequency bands, the atmospheric loss is small, and the method is very suitable for large-scale development and utilization of solar energy. Particularly in a geosynchronous orbit, the solar radiation can be stably received within 99 percent of the time, and stable energy transmission can be carried out to a ground fixed receiving station. Therefore, in the long run, the Space Solar Power Station (SPS-Space Power Satellite or SSPS-Space Solar Power Station) is likely to become an important way for large-scale energy supply and environmental problem solution in the future. Currently, the related research work in this field has been carried out worldwide for over 50 years.
The space solar power station mainly comprises three parts: solar power generation devices, energy conversion and transmission devices, and ground energy receiving and conversion devices. The solar power generation device converts solar energy into electric energy; the energy conversion and emission device converts the electric energy into a microwave or laser form and transmits a beam to the ground by using a microwave antenna or an optical system; the ground energy receiving system receives the wave beams transmitted by the space by using the receiving antenna or the battery array, and converts the wave beams into electric energy for ground use through the conversion device.
Two transmission modes are mainly considered in the space solar power station: microwave wireless energy transmission and laser wireless energy transmission. The microwave wireless energy transmission mode is similar to the laser wireless energy transmission mode in that solar energy is converted into electric energy by a solar cell array in space, then the electric energy is converted into electromagnetic waves, the electromagnetic waves are transmitted to the ground by a transmitting device, and then the electromagnetic waves are converted into the electric energy again. The major difference between the microwave and laser systems is the large difference in wavelength (up to tens of thousands of times). According to the electromagnetic wave transmission principle, the product of the transmitting aperture and the receiving aperture is proportional to the wavelength, and therefore the corresponding device scale also differs greatly. Microwave and laser wireless energy transmission also requires significant consideration of losses through the atmosphere, in addition to device size. In order to transmit microwave energy more efficiently in the atmosphere, the industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) frequency band, which is substantially unaffected by weather conditions such as cloud and rain, is generally used, and a microwave frequency of 2.45GHz or 5.8GHz is mainly selected. The laser energy transmission mainly adopts visible light or near infrared spectrum atmospheric transparent windows, but is greatly influenced by weather conditions such as cloud and rain. Therefore, most of the currently international dozen space solar power station concepts adopt microwave wireless energy transmission modes, and are more suitable for future GW space solar power stations from the viewpoint of power density.
According to the current typical scheme design, the space solar power station runs on the earth stationary orbit, and the energy transmission distance exceeds 36000 km. The microwave energy transmitting antenna has the size of 1km magnitude, the diameter of the ground energy receiving antenna is about 5km, the requirement on the precision of microwave beams is very high in order to realize high-efficiency energy receiving and consider energy transmission safety, and if the central deviation of the microwave beams does not exceed 5% of the diameter of the receiving antenna, the beam pointing precision of the space solar power station to the ground is higher than 0.0005 degrees.
The space solar power station running on the earth stationary orbit is influenced by various disturbances on the orbit, the space solar power station cannot be guaranteed to be completely stationary, orbit drift exists, the attitude of the power station can be changed to a certain extent, any small disturbance on the ground relative position and attitude of the microwave energy transmitting antenna can cause the beam direction error to exceed the upper limit, and corresponding directional adjustment is needed. Meanwhile, the microwave energy transmitting antenna has a large size, needs to be assembled by a plurality of antenna structure modules in an on-orbit manner, and considers the influence of various forces, heat and other space environments, and various deformations occur among the antenna structure modules (assuming that one antenna structure module does not deform, namely, the required flatness can be ensured), so that how to comprehensively consider the overall beam direction change caused by the attitude change (pitching, rolling and deflection around the center) of each antenna structure module and the position change (the front and back, the left and right and the up and down directions of the center) among the antenna structure modules also has a great technical problem.
The invention provides a method for compensating the overall beam direction change caused by the attitude change (pitching, rolling and deflection around the center) of each antenna structure module of a microwave energy transmitting antenna and the position change (front-back, left-right and up-down directions of the center) among the antenna structure modules aiming at the energy transmission requirement of a space solar power station, so that the remote microwave wireless energy transmission of the space solar power station becomes feasible.

Therefore, for each antenna subarray, a pilot beam receiving antenna is arranged at the center of the subarray, phase detection is performed according to the received beam, and phase conjugation is performed through a circuit, so that the reference phase of the antenna subarray is obtained.

The specific implementation method is as follows:
the guide wave beam adopts 2.9GHz single-frequency electromagnetic waves, and the microwave energy emission adopts 5.8GHz single-frequency electromagnetic waves, so that mutual interference between the microwave energy emission and the guide signal receiving can be filtered by the filter. As shown in fig. 2, the pilot beam receiving antenna at the center of the i-th antenna sub-array converts the received pilot beam into a pilot signal with a frequency of 2.9GHz and a phase of

The guide signal passes through a 2.9GHz band-pass filter to filter out clutter and interference transmitted by 5.8GHz microwave energy, and is amplified by a low noise amplifier and then mixed with 2.899GHz local oscillation signals. The intermediate frequency output of the mixer is filtered by a 10MHz band-pass filter, and is amplified to form a frequency of 10MHz and a phase of

And a frequency synthesizer is arranged in the center of each antenna subarray and generates a local oscillation signal of the frequency mixer, a sampling clock signal of the analog-to-digital converter and a reference synchronous signal provided for the measurement and control processing module according to an input synchronous reference signal.
As shown in fig. 3, the microwave energy transmitting end is provided with a synchronization reference signal generator from which the synchronization reference signals of all the antenna sub-arrays are derived. The output signal of the synchronous reference signal generator forms a plurality of paths of synchronous reference signals with the same frequency through the power divider, and the signals are respectively provided to the frequency synthesizer of each antenna subarray receiving channel. The synchronous reference signal has the functions of ensuring that the phases of local oscillation signals of receiving channels of all antenna sub-arrays are the same, ensuring synchronous sampling of intermediate frequency guide signals of all antenna sub-arrays and ensuring that the frequencies of transmitting beams of all antenna sub-arrays are the same.
In order to reduce the weight of the synchronous reference signal transmission cable and improve the phase stability of long-distance transmission, optical fibers can be used for long-distance transmission of the synchronous reference signals. As shown in fig. 4, the signal generated by the synchronization reference signal generator is converted into an optical signal by an electro-optical converter, and the optical signal is split into multiple paths of synchronization optical signals, transmitted to each antenna sub-array through an optical fiber, and then converted into synchronization reference signals by the electro-optical converter, and provided to the frequency synthesizer.

Each dimension comprising 3 receiving antenna elements, using the maximum distance (L) between the elements 13 And L 53 ) A long base line is obtained, and the direction-finding precision is ensured; using the effective closest distance between cells ((L) 12 -L 23 ) And (L) 54 -L 43 ) Get a short baseline to ensure that the solution is unambiguous.
Each pilot signal receiving antenna is followed by a receive channel as shown in fig. 7. Each receiving channel realizes low-noise amplification, amplitude control and AD sampling of the local guide signal, and feeds 5 paths of digital guide signals into the DOA measurement processing module. The DOA measurement processing module can obtain the incoming wave direction of the pilot signal by performing phase interference processing on the multi-channel signal, and inputs the incoming wave direction information into the beam control processing module, wherein the direction is the direction to which the energy beam should point.
