用于火星探测器的机载风能和光伏联合能源系统
Combined Airborne Wind and Photovoltaic Energy System for Martian Habitats
摘要：
在火星上生产可再生能源在技术上具有挑战性。首先，因为与地球相比，太阳能和风能等关键能源由于大气压力非常低和太阳辐射低而很弱。其次，由于恶劣的环境条件，需要高度的自动化，以及将材料运输到地球的特殊努力和成本。就像在地球上一样，将互补资源结合起来以实现有效的可再生能源解决方案至关重要。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个设计综合练习的结果，一个10千瓦的微电网解决方案，基于一个泵风筝电力系统和光伏太阳能模块，为建筑以及火星栖息地的后续使用提供动力。为了缓冲不可避免的能源波动并平衡季节性和昼夜资源变化，这两个能源系统与压缩气体存储系统和锂硫电池相结合。选择机载风能解决方案是因为其重量与机翼表面积比低，包装体积紧凑，容量系数高，使其能够在空中停车模式下承受强沙尘暴。薄膜翼的表面积为50平方米，整个系统的质量，包括风筝控制单元和地面站，为290公斤。微电网的性能进行评估，通过计算模拟使用可用的资源数据在火星上选定的部署位置。该系统的预计成本为895万欧元，不包括前往火星的运输费用。
英文摘要：
Generating renewable energy on Mars is technologically challenging. Firstly, because compared to Earth, key energy resources such as solar and wind are weak as a result of very low atmospheric pressure and low solar irradiation. Secondly, because of the harsh environmental conditions, the required high degree of automation and the exceptional effort and costs to transport material to the planet. Like on Earth, it is crucial to combine complementary resources for an effective renewable energy solution. In this work, we present the result of a design synthesis exercise, a 10 kW microgrid solution, based on a pumping kite power system and photovoltaic solar modules to power the construction as well as the subsequent use of a Mars habitat. To buffer unavoidable energy fluctuations and balance seasonal and diurnal resource variations, the two energy systems are combined with a compressed gas storage system and lithium-sulfur batteries. The airborne wind energy solution was selected because of its low weight-to-wing-surface-area ratio, compact packing volume and high capacity factor which enables it to endure strong dust storms in an airborne parking mode. The surface area of the membrane wing is 50 m2 and the mass of the entire system, including the kite control unit and ground station, is 290 kg. The performance of the microgrid is assessed by computational simulation using available resource data for a chosen deployment location on Mars. The projected costs of the system are 8.95 million Euro, excluding transportation to Mars.
