Abstract:

In recent years, with the improvement of the level of development and modernization of industry, more energy is needed, so the desire for clean new energy is growing. Solar energy is undoubtedly the most watched in many types of new energy. Solar Power Satellite (SPS) as a major program has been highly anticipated since it's proposed. Studies have been considering it as for a circular orbit. But there are some disadvantages on circular orbit such as inefficiency and complexity of the transmission link. So it is very important to research the SPS on highly elliptical orbit. In this paper, firstly, a particle - cylinder model is established. Then, dynamics simulation of Solar Power Satellite on highly elliptical orbit is based on this model. The simulations about mature orbit verify the feasibility and accuracy of the model. So this method provides a valuable reference for Solar Power Satellite deployment.
