Abstract: Most of the existing space solar power station (SSPS) schemes are conceptual designs with poor comprehensive performance. So a highly feasible engineering design scheme of SSPS via cylindrical modular concentrator array (SSPS-CMCA) is proposed. Firstly, the SSPS schemes proposed by scholars and organizations from various countries are analyzed. The scheme combination table is listed from the perspective of structure, control, shape, etc. A set of scheme standards for the design of SSPS is summarized. Then the SSPS-CMCA scheme is proposed according to this standard. The structural design of the scheme is described in detail, and the performance of each aspect and the system parameters of 1GW model are analyzed. Finally, the construction scheme of the whole process from ground experiment to space assembly and operation is proposed.
