The global need for energy is increasing at a high rate and is expected to double or increase by 50%, according to some studies, in 30 years. As a result, it is essential to look into alternative methods of producing power. Solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants utilize the sun's clean energy, but they're not always dependable since they depend on weather patterns and requires vast amount of land. Space-based solar power (SBSP) has emerged as the potential solution to this issue. SBSP can provide 24/7 baseload carbon-free electricity with power density over 10 times greater than terrestrial alternatives while requiring far less land. Solar power is collected and converted in space to be sent back to Earth via Microwave or laser wirelessly and used as electricity. However, harnessing its full potential necessitates tackling substantial technological obstacles in wireless power transmission across extensive distances in order to efficiently send power to receivers on the ground. When it comes to achieving a net-zero goal, the SBSP is becoming more viable option. This paper presents a review of wireless power transmission systems and an overview of SBSP as a comprehensive system. To introduce the state-of-the-art information, the properties of the system and modern SBSP models along with application and spillover effects with regard to different sectors was examined. The challenges and risks are discussed to address the key barriers for successful project implementation. The technological obstacles stem from the fact that although most of the technology is already available none are actually efficient enough for deployment so with, private enterprises entering space race and more efficient system, the cost of the entire system that prevented this notion from happening is also decreasing. With incremental advances in key areas and sustained investment, SBSP integrated with other renewable could contribute significantly to cross-sector decarbonization.
全球能源需求正以高速增长，据一些研究预计，30年内有望翻番或增长50%。因此，探索替代发电方法至关重要。太阳能光伏（PV）发电厂利用太阳能这种清洁能源，但由于依赖天气模式且需要大量土地，并不总是可靠。天基太阳能发电（SBSP）已成为解决这一问题的潜在方案。SBSP可提供全天候基本负荷的无碳电力，功率密度比地面替代方案高出10倍以上，且所需土地少得多。太阳能在太空中收集并转换后，通过微波或激光无线传输回地球用作电力。然而，要充分发挥其潜力，必须克服在远距离无线电力传输方面的重大技术障碍，以便有效地将电力发送到地面接收器。在实现净零目标方面，SBSP正成为更可行的选择。本文对无线电力传输系统进行了综述，并对作为一个综合系统的SBSP进行了概述。为介绍最新信息，研究了该系统的特性、现代SBSP模型以及不同部门的应用和溢出效应。讨论了挑战和风险，以解决项目成功实施的关键障碍。技术障碍源于这样一个事实，即虽然大多数技术已经存在，但实际上没有一项技术足够高效可用于部署，因此，随着私营企业进入太空竞赛以及系统更高效，阻止这一设想实现的整个系统成本也在下降。随着关键领域的逐步进步和持续投资，与其他可再生能源相结合的SBSP可为跨部门脱碳做出重大贡献。
