Spherically configured power conversion module for use with optical energy transfer and conversion system

A multiple power conversion system comprising:

• a plurality of power conversion modules, each of said plurality of power conversion modules comprising;
• a housing having a spherical configuration and a plurality of channels therethrough;
• an end plate connected to said housing, said end plate and housing defining a cavity;
• an inlet and outlet port connected to said housing;
• an actively cooled high power connector having one end connected to a fiber optic cable and an opposite end traversing said end plate and extending within said cavity;
• a first beam forming optics within said cavity, said first beam forming optics in optical communication with said actively cooled high power connector;
• a second beam forming optics within said cavity, said second beam forming optics in optical communication with said first beaming forming optics and configured to disburse received optical energy in a hemispherical emission pattern of uniform flux toward a first hemispherical array of photovoltaic chips;
• a third beam forming optics within said cavity, said third beam forming optics in optical communication with said first beam forming optics and configured to disburse received optical energy in a hemispherical emission pattern of uniform flux toward a second hemispherical array of photovoltaic chips;
• an optical splitter within a center of said housing, said optical splitter between second and third beam forming optics and in optical communication with said first, second and third beam forming optics, said optical splitter configured to split and direct the received optical energy to said second and third beam forming optics;
• a heat sink within said housing and having a plurality of fluid channels therethrough, said plurality of fluid channels forming a fluid circulation path between said inlet and outlet ports;
• a work fluid in fluid communication with said heat sink, said work fluid for transferring heat via said outlet port;
• and
• the first and second hemispherical arrays of photovoltaic chips mounted in complementary configuration to said hosing within said cavity, each photovoltaic chip of said first hemispherical array of photovoltaic chips spaced equidistantly from said second beam forming optics, and each photovoltaic chip of said second hemispherical array of photovoltaic chips spaced equidistantly from said third beam forming optics;
• a photonic power train in optical communication with said plurality of power conversion systems;
• and
• a plurality of beam splitters in optical communication with said plurality of power conversion systems, said plurality of beam splitters configured to transfer a portion of the optical energy from said photonic power train to each of said plurality of power conversion systems.
