Additional analyses that were performed to supplement the NASA/Department of Energy (DOE) Satellite Power System (SPS) reference system concept are presented. A brief review of the reference concept is provided together with detailed descriptions of energy conversion, power distribution, and power management for solar photovoltaics (silicon and gallium arsenide), solar thermal (Brayton and Rankine cycles), and concept comparisons (solar thermal and energy conversion). Results of other studies concerning energy conversion and power management (environment impacts, annealing, nuclear SPS concept, and thermionic) are included. 34 refs.
