Description
The envisioned Energy Web consists of three major component types: transmitters, relays, and receivers. Optical laser power beaming technology delivers energy over long distances via transmission by laser beam that is then directed towards a receiving station. The receiving station is equipped with photovoltaic cells or similar devices that capture the laser energy and convert it back into electrical power. A ground-to-ground demonstration is crucial for proving the feasibility and effectiveness of optical laser power beaming technology, particularly in validating the photovoltaic (PV) receiver array and its efficiency.
