in Liege, Belgium, Thursday 15 Mars 2001

The technology of Wireless Power Transportation (WPT), now in a phase of Industry development at the University of La Réunion for the village of Grand-Bassin, was selected for the European exhibition Electralis 2001, and was presented as a poster :

"Grand Bassin in Réunion Island :
Operational Design for 10kW Microwave Beam Energy Transportation"

An other document, presenting WPT and its various aspects, is presented by Dr. Alain Celeste, of the University of La Réunion :

A second project, in which the University of La Réunion also participated with CNES, from France, and ISAS, from Japan,
is the functional demonstration model for the future space solar power systems (SSP), also selected and presented at :

"Energy Transportation : The Microwave Solution"

The demonstrator uses the technology of WPT for the transportation of energy between the scale model
of the space power satellite and the display model of Planet Earth where the potential collection sites
are enhanced by blinking lights that use the wireless energy.

On the Exhibition site of Electralis 2001, at the Palais des Sports in Liege, Belgium,
the attaché case model of SPS-2000 was presented by the researchers of the University of La Réunion
to a delegation from Thailand that was led by the General Manager of the Thai national electrical utility (picture).
Many mountain sites in the North of Thailand could benefit soon from the new technology of WPT.
