1.1.3 Solar Thermal SPS ( Boeing) Ground Power Output Total Mass Conversion Concentration Ratio Cycle Thermal Efficiency SPS System Cost (Without Transport Construction,Rectenna and DDT&E) Transportation Cost Characteristics:This concept consists of thermoelectric modules (dishes) of 2.5 GW each. 10000 Heliostats per dish concentrate the incoming sunlight on a cavity absorber. 14 turbines are assembled around each cavity to generate electricity. The power is transmitted to Earth by microwaves.
