Spectrally-resolved measurement of concentrated light distributions for Fresnel lens concentrators.
A test method that measures spectrally resolved irradiance distribution for a concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) optical system is presented. In conjunction with electrical I-V curves, it is a means to visualize and characterize the effects of chromatic aberration and nonuniform flux profiles under controllable testing conditions. The indoor characterization test bench, METHOD (Measurement of Elec...
متن کاملHigh performance Fresnel-based photovoltaic concentrator.
In order to achieve competitive system costs in mass-production, it is essential that CPV concentrators incorporate sufficient manufacturing tolerances. This paper presents an advanced concentrator optic comprising a Fresnel lens and a refractive secondary element, both with broken rotational symmetry, an optic producing both the desired light concentration with high tolerance (high acceptance ...
متن کاملWhite butterflies as solar photovoltaic concentrators
Man's harvesting of photovoltaic energy requires the deployment of extensive arrays of solar panels. To improve both the gathering of thermal and photovoltaic energy from the sun we have examined the concept of biomimicry in white butterflies of the family Pieridae. We tested the hypothesis that the V-shaped posture of basking white butterflies mimics the V-trough concentrator which is designed...
متن کاملPrismatic Stationary Concentrators in the Photovoltaic Modules
This paper is about the researches conducted in the fields of development of prismatic stationary concentrators of solar energy and design of photovoltaic modules on their base. The developed concentrators and modules can be used with the silicon solar cells. The modules can be installed stationary without tracking systems. This paper shows the results of researching and development of the two ...
متن کاملFresnel-based Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) System with Uniform Irradiance
Different designs have been presented to achieve high concentration and uniformity for the concentrated photovoltaic (CPV) system. Most of the designs have issues of low efficiency in terms of irradiance uniformity. To this end, we present a design methodology to increase irradiance uniformity over solar cell. The system consists of an eight-fold Fresnel lens as a primary optical element (POE) ...
