Abstract

This paper describes a new type of space photovoltaic array, including test results for the first fully functional prototype panel. The stretched lens array (SLA) is a high-efficiency, ultralight, stowable, folding-blanket concentrator array. A prototype SLA panel has been performance tested at NASA GRC, with results confirming 27.4% net efficiency (375 W/sq.m areal power) under AM0 sunlight at room temperature. Furthermore, the total prototype panel areal mass, including stretched membrane Fresnel lens concentrators, fully assembled triple-junction cell receivers, and graphite cloth composite radiators, was 0.99 kg/sq.m, resulting in a specific power of 378 W/kg at the fully functional panel level. This is the first space solar array panel of any kind to simultaneously achieve over 300 W/sq.m and over 300 W/kg. In addition, the new SLA has been integrated into a relatively mature flexible blanket platform (ABLE's Aurora(R) array), with near-term array-level performance of 300 W/sq.m and 170 W/kg.

拉伸透镜超轻聚光器阵列

本文介绍了一种新型空间光伏阵列，包括首个全功能原型板的测试结果。拉伸透镜阵列(SLA)是一种高效、超轻、可折叠、可折叠的聚光阵列。一个原型SLA面板已经在NASA GRC进行了性能测试，结果证实净效率为27.4% (375 W/sq)。m面功率)在室温下AM0阳光下。此外，原型面板的总面质量(包括拉伸膜菲涅耳透镜聚光器、完全组装的三结电池接收器和石墨布复合散热器)为0.99 kg/sq。m，在功能齐全的面板级，比功率为378 W/kg。这是第一个同时达到300瓦/平方米以上的空间太阳能电池板。m及300w /kg以上。此外，新的SLA已经集成到一个相对成熟的柔性毯子平台(ABLE的Aurora(R)阵列)中，近期阵列级性能为300 W/sq。m和170 W/kg。
