Energía solar espacial: Europa podría ahorrar 15% en energía con paneles solares espaciales antes que Japòn Por Félix Riaño @LocutorCo  Un nuevo estudio sugiere que los paneles solares en el espacio podrían reducir en un 80% la necesidad de energías renovables terrestres en Europa.  Investigadores de King's College London aseguran que, para el año 2050, la energía solar en el espacio podría abastecer casi de manera continua la red eléctrica de Europa. La idea es sencilla de explicar pero difícil de llevar a cabo: poner grandes paneles solares en órbita para captar la luz del sol todo el tiempo, sin que la afecten las nubes o la noche, y luego enviar esa energía a la Tierra convertida en microondas. El impacto, según sus cálculos, sería enorme: hasta un 15% menos en el costo del sistema energético europeo y una disminución superior al 70% en la necesidad de baterías de almacenamiento. ¿Podría esta idea de ciencia ficción convertirse en una realidad para nuestras ciudades?  La promesa es grande, pero los costos siguen siendo astronómicos  La propuesta de paneles solares en el espacio no es nueva. Fue planteada en 1968 por el ingeniero aeroespacial Peter Glaser, en plena carrera espacial. Durante décadas fue descartada como demasiado costosa e irrealizable. Hoy, el panorama cambió. El precio de los lanzamientos al espacio bajó gracias a los cohetes reutilizables, la tecnología para convertir luz en electricidad es más eficiente y ya existen pruebas exitosas de transmisión inalámbrica de energía desde órbita. Con estas piezas sobre la mesa, científicos de Europa han vuelto a modelar la posibilidad. Su simulación incluyó 33 países y mostró que los satélites solares podrían convertirse en una fuente centralizada y continua de electricidad renovable.  Pero los problemas son evidentes. El costo actual de estos sistemas es entre 10 y 100 veces superior al que se necesitaría para ser competitivos frente a las energías en la Tierra. El diseño más prometedor, conocido como “enjambre de heliostatos”, tendría que reducir sus costos a 14 veces los paneles solares terrestres para ser viable. Otro diseño, llamado “matriz planar”, más simple y más cerca de estar listo, aún necesitaría reducir sus costos a 9 veces los de los paneles tradicionales. Además, lanzar y mantener grandes estructuras en el espacio plantea retos de seguridad, como el riesgo de choques con basura espacial, interrupciones en la transmisión de microondas y la degradación de materiales bajo radiación. La pregunta clave es si la inversión en investigación logrará superar esas barreras en el plazo necesario para 2050.  Pese a las dificultades, los investigadores no descartan la idea. Al contrario, proponen una estrategia combinada: comenzar con la matriz planar, más madura tecnológicamente, y al mismo tiempo acelerar el desarrollo del enjambre de heliostatos para alcanzar la meta de generación continua. El beneficio sería triple: reducción de costos en la red europea, menor necesidad de baterías gigantes de respaldo y menor dependencia del gas. El estudio estima que los ahorros podrían llegar a 36.000 millones de euros al año. Países como Japón ya integraron la energía solar espacial en su estrategia de emisiones cero. En Europa, la cooperación entre países y agencias podría dar el impulso que falta, del mismo modo que ya ocurre con la Agencia Espacial Europea y los intercambios eléctricos transfronterizos.  El sistema más avanzado, el enjambre de heliostatos, usaría espejos flotando en órbita que reflejan la luz solar hacia un receptor central, el cual la transformaría en energía y la enviaría a la Tierra. Su gran ventaja es que podría capturar energía el 99,7% del tiempo, día y noche. En comparación, los paneles en la superficie apenas logran entre 15% y 30% de eficiencia, y dependen de la luz directa. La matriz planar, por su parte, funcionaría como un enorme satélite de paneles planos que apuntan al Sol y que transmiten energía en ondas de radio hacia estaciones en la Tierra. Este diseño capturaría energía un 60% del tiempo. Ambos conceptos provienen de estudios de la NASA publicados en 2024. Si se lograra reducir los costos, Europa podría recortar drásticamente la necesidad de instalar turbinas eólicas y paneles solares en tierra, liberando espacio y evitando problemas como la intermitencia del viento y la falta de sol en invierno.  La energía solar espacial pasó de ser un sueño de 1968 a un proyecto en estudio para 2050. Los números son atractivos, pero los costos y los riesgos siguen siendo gigantes. ¿Crees que llegaremos a ver paneles solares en órbita enviando electricidad a nuestras casas? Te invito a dejar tu opinión y a seguir escuchando el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify.Paneles solares en el espacio podrían dar 80% de energía renovable a Europa en 2050 y bajar costos un 15%.

This special episode of the podcast was recorded live in front of an audience in February 2022 at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers in London and features a panel of experts discussing a very interesting subject of Space-Based solar power.I was joined on stage by Martin Soltau Co-Chair Space Energy Initiative & Space Business Lead at Frazer-Nash ConsultancyDr Alice Bunn CEO Institution of Mechanical EngineersSam Adlen Chief Strategy Officer, Satellite Applications Catapult andAli Stickings Space Strategy lead at Fraser Nash ConsultancyYou will also hear remarks from Mark Garnier, MP for Wyre Forest who is Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Space, and Chair of The Space Energy Initiative Advisory Board as well as Nick Wayth Chief Executive at The Energy Institute.To provide some context around this episode and the topic, we all accept that fossil fuels are not a sustainable form of energy, and renewable energy such as solar and wind have issues when it is cloudy or calm.To meet the energy needs of a country like the UK or Australia, we need a “baseload” technology that can provide a sustained demand for power.The UK chapter of The Institution of Engineers Australia teamed up with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for their monthly “Spring Forward” hybrid lecture series to look at a potential new form of energy – Space-Based Solar Power.The concept is not new – it was first mooted by Isaac Asimov as science fiction in the 1940s, and in 1968, Dr Peter Glaser of Arthur D. Little introduced the concept of using microwaves for power transmission from geosynchronous orbit to an Earth-based rectifying antenna.Since then, technology has advanced on several fronts to remove some of the technological and economic barriers to practical full-scale implementation.Issues covered in this episode include:How Space-Based power actually worksThe opportunity for generating power from spaceHow to overcome challenges in commercialising this technologyHow space-based solar power contributes to the net-zero debateThe future for space-based solar power generationHow Space solar power gives Governments optionsSolar power vs Nuclear FusionWhat will the solution cost?The regulatory risksThe role of GovernmentThe security concernsWho regulates the space segmentThe spin-off benefitsWhat other countries are doing?The UK-Australia Space BridgeThe Space Energy InitiativeThe job creation opportunitiesNick Wayth Chief Executive at Energy Institute commentsAudience question: How can the UK maintain a lead in this area?Audience question: What is happening in Australia?Audience question: What can go wrong?Mark Garnier MP closing remarksResources UK Government's paper on Space-Based Solar PowerYour Host: Actionable Futurist® Andrew GrillFor more on Andrew - what he speaks about and replays of recent talks, please visit ActionableFuturist.comfollow @AndrewGrill on Twitteror @andrew.grill on Instagram.

Tim Pritlove führt als Live-Podcast von Chaosradio Express ein Gespräch mit dem Schriftsteller Peter Glaser über das Motto der re:publica "Die Kritische Masse". Im Dialog sollen Aspekte alternativer Meinungsgestaltung im digitalen Zeitalter, der Einfluss elitärer Minderheiten auf Mehrheiten und im besonderen der Effekt moderner Themengestaltung und Berichterstattung im Internet auf die Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie der traditionellen Medien diskutiert werden. Kann eine Masse überhaupt kritisch sein oder ist die Kritik ein Merkmal des Individuums? Kann eine Masse die Summe von Individuen sein oder löst sie sich dann in Beliebigkeit auf? Wann überschreitet eine Gemeinschaft den kritischen Punkt und nimmt Einfluss? Sind wir in einer Übergangsphase vom Massenmedium zu einer Masse von Medien? Welche Qualität liegt in der Qualität? Diese und andere Fragen und Thesen sollen das Diskussionsfutter in diesem Diskurs sein, der sich um eine Standortbestimmung "kritischer" Medienpräsenz in aktuellen Realität digitaler Netzwelten bemüht. Peter Glaser steht dabei für eine künstlerisch-praktische und vor allem unterhaltsame Aufarbeitung der Thematik statt einer trockenen theoretisch-akademischen Abhandlung des Stoffes.

Am 12. September 2006 jährt sich die Gründung des Chaos Computer Clubs zum 25. Mal. Wir nehmen dieses Datum zum Anlass, einmal einen ausführlichen Blick auf die damalige Zeit zu richten. Peter Glaser ist 1983 zum Club gestossen und war über lange Zeit selbst massgeblich in die Aktivitäten der Gemeinschaft eingebunden. So hat er auch über lange Zeit die Datenschleuder inhaltlich mitgestaltet. Im Gespräch mit Tim Pritlove zeichnet Peter Glaser ein Fühlbild der damaligen Zeit, der Motivation der Leute, die sich im Club organisierten und der Wirkung des Clubs auf die deutsche Gesellschaft der 80er Jahre. Dabei kommt auch sehr viel Persönliches zur Sprache.
