Thomas F. Rosenbaum, president of Caltech, stated that "the transition to renewable energy is developing at a limited pace due to energy storage and power transmission issues today." Currently, renewable energy in Korea faces significant challenges due to the problem of uneven power generation output, as well as the cost of establishing transmission and distribution infrastructure to support it. <br/> <br/> In response, the world is making progress through technological exploration and experimentation in space-based solar power in order to achieve carbon neutrality and obtain unlimited renewable energy with high efficiency. <br/> <br/> The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) announced on the 1st local time that it successfully conducted a test of wireless power transmission technology in a space environment and performed the first demonstration of wirelessly transmitting power to Earth, successfully detecting it at a ground-based receiver. <br/> <br/> After testing wireless power transmission technology in the Earth environment, Caltech is known to have launched a satellite equipped with a microwave array into the space environment to conduct the corresponding experiment. It is expected to be recorded as the first successful case of demonstrating wireless power transmission and reception in space as well as wireless power transmission and reception between space and Earth. <br/> <br/> Domestically, the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute (KERI) is developing technology for space-based solar power generation and wireless power transmission. In collaboration with the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), it derived the design plan for the first Korean-type space-based solar power system and jointly presented content on "wireless power transmission between low-orbit small satellites" at the International Space Conference...(more) <br/> <br/> #wireless power transmission #space solar power #space solar power generation #space development #electromagnetic waves #microwave #eco-friendly energy #space energy
