A review of nonimaging solar concentrators for stationary and passive tracking applications
The solar energy research community has realized the redundancy of image-forming while collecting/ concentrating solar energy with the discovery of the nonimaging type radiation collection mechanism in 1965. Since then, various nonimaging concentration mechanisms have proven their superior collection efficiency over their imaging counter-parts. The feasibility of using nonimaging concentrators ...
متن کاملNon-imagine solar stationary concentrators with using combination of prisms and reflective surfaces
The paper presents two designs of combined prismatic-parabola-cylindrical stationary concentrators. They reach 8.4X and 10.4X concentration levels for nonsymmetrical and symmetrical concentrators correspondingly and can be used with solar cells for electricity and heat generation. ©2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (220.1770) Concentrators; (220.4298) Nonimaging optics; (220.2740) Geo...
متن کاملElliptical concentrators.
Nonimaging optics is a field devoted to the design of optical components for applications such as solar concentration or illumination. In this field, many different techniques have been used to produce optical devices, including the use of reflective and refractive components or inverse engineering techniques. However, many of these optical components are based on translational symmetries, rota...
متن کاملNonimaging Optical Gain in Luminescent Concentration through Photonic Control of Emission Étendue
Luminescent and nonimaging optical concentration constitute two fundamentally different ways of collecting and intensifying light. Whereas nonimaging concentrators based on reflective, refractive, or diffractive optics operate most effectively for collimated light, luminescent concentrators (LCs) rely on absorption, re-emission, and waveguiding to concentrate diffuse light incident from any dir...
متن کاملDevelopments and Designs of Solar Engineering Fresnel Lenses
This paper deals with the suitability of Fresnel lenses of imaging and nonimaging designs for solar energy concentration. The paper's scope is the review of long known, and recently developed Fresnel lenses, and the analyes of their characteristics for utilization as solar concentrators, putting an emphasis on a lens designed by the authors. Nonimaging optics are presented as o ering the possib...
