Solar dynamic systems (heat engines) are being considered as alternative to photovoltaics as the prime power source for the US Space Station. The current design power levels are 75 kW and 300 kW for the initial and growth design, respectively. The Brayton and Rankine cycle engines are the most attractive for the metal phase with the Stirling cycle showing promise for the later space application. The advantages and disadvantages of these systems compared with photovoltaics are discussed along with the significant design problems and trade-offs.
