Designing a Solar Thermal Cylindrical Parabolic Trough Concentrator by Simulation
The focus on renewable energy in Malaysia gained momentum with the active involvement of the government and the private sector. This move can potentially help in diversifying the country's energy options besides relying on oil, natural gas, coal and hydropower. The scope of this paper is to look at the designing procedures of a solar thermal cylindrical parabolic trough concentrator (CPTC) by s...
متن کاملOptical Design of a Novel 2-stage Solar Trough Concentrator Based on Pneumatic Polymeric Structures
An innovative concept for fabricating solar trough concentrators based on pneumatic polymer mirrors supported on precast concrete frames is presented. Optical aberration is corrected by means of a secondary specular reflector in tandem with the primary cylindrical concentrator. The optimal design is formulated for maximum solar flux concentration. The Monte Carlo ray-tracing technique is applie...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of a Nanofluid-Based Direct Absorption Solar Collector with Parabolic Trough Concentrator
Application of solar collectors for hot water supply, space heating, and cooling plays a significant role in reducing building energy consumption. For conventional solar collectors, solar radiation is absorbed by spectral selective coating on the collectors' tube/plate wall. The poor durability of the coating can lead to an increased manufacturing cost and unreliability for a solar collector op...
متن کاملMicro-Cogeneration with a Fresnel Solar Concentrator
The technical and economic sustainability of photovoltaic (PV) systems is heavily affected by the cost and performances of the adopted PV cells. Solar concentrators represent an effective alternative to reduce the solar cell surface and, at the same time, to increase the global conversion efficiency. Such systems include optic elements to concentrate the solar radiation to a small area where hi...
متن کاملPlanar micro-optic solar concentrator.
We present a new approach to solar concentration where sunlight collected by each lens in a two-dimensional lens array is coupled into a shared, planar waveguide using localized features placed at each lens focus. This geometry yields a thin, flat profile for moderate concentration systems which may be fabricated by low-cost roll manufacture. We provide analyses of tradeoffs and show optimized ...
