Description
Summary:The long distances Microwave (MW) Wireless Power Transmission (WPT) concepts are followed by the presentation of high Altitude Platforms (HAPS) principles. Stratospheric HAPS operation requiring up to a few hundreds kW of electrical power is limited by long sun eclipses. The realization of terrestrial MW WPT systems feeding HAPS could be useful for their long duration operation and for the preliminary tests of more complex and power demanding Solar Power Satellites (SPS) systems. Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) and biological hazards issues will be discussed for selected frequencies and compared for terrestrial, HAPS and SPS long range MW WPT systems.
