Abstract :
Focusing on the superior environmental characteristics of SSPS, Nishinippon Environmental Energy Co., Inc. has participated in two different SSPS committees. One has been organized by JAXA (former, NASDA) since 1999, and the other by USEF since 2001. Technological research has been made into the issue of how the SSPS can be interconnected to commercial power grids on the ground.
