The power loss when talking about cables is considered to be quite a bit at about 50% from napkin calculations.
The power loss of beamed microwaves is a bit more. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.12.026 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egyr.2020.12.026
> Finally, the simulation of the long-distance high-power MWPT system can achieve 8.5 kW DC power with about 1% DC–DC transmission efficiency at the operating 2.45 GHz frequency and the 10 km distance away.
- politician 5y agoFor sure, significant power loss. However, given the unavailability of submarine power cable manufacturing capacity [1], perhaps something is better than nothing? [1] Xlinks has to manufacture its own cables, each 3,800km for this project due to insufficient global production capacity. https://xlinks.co/morocco-uk-power-project/ https://xlinks.co/morocco-uk-power-project/
