Fresnel Mirror Concentrated Solar Lunar Integrated Industrial Complex
Fresnel Mirror - Concentrated Solar Lunar Integrated Industrial Complex This facility utilizes a grid of 10 units of 1,00 x 20 -meter Linear Fresnel Reflector (LFR) array to create a self-sustaining lunar outpost. By leveraging the Moon’s vacuum and 14-day solar cycle, the plant integrates high-temperature smelting, cascading power generation, and deep-regolith thermal storage. 1. Primary Solar Collection: 1km Fresnel Array Aperture Area: 20,000 m² (1,000m length × 20m width) total mirror area. Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI): ~1,360 W/m² (Constant during the 354-hour lunar day). Thermal Output: Approximately 20–22 MW of concentrated thermal energy at peak. The Receiver: A suspended central pipe focused to "red hot" temperatures (800°C–1,200°C), utilizing lunar-native molten halide salts or liquid metals as the Heat Transfer Fluid (HTF). 2. High-Tem...
