A compound parabolic concentrator (CPC) is a wellknown non-imaging concentrator that will concentrate the solar radiation onto receiver (PV cell). One of disadvantage of CPC is has tall and narrow height compared to its diameter entry aperture area. Therefore, for economic reason, a truncation had been done by removed from the top of the full height CPC. This also will lead to the decreases of ...

INTRODUCTION There has been considerable interest in the determination of anions at trace levels by IC. For example, the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) has established IC as the analytical technique for determining sodium, chloride, and sulfate down to 0.25 μg/L (ppb) in power plant waters. For high-purity water used in semiconductor processing, the Semiconductor Equipment and Materia...

Four cyclone concentrators were designed and fabricated to compare their particle separation and concentration behavior, such as the major, minor, outlet, and wall deposition fractions. Two of the cyclone concentrators were the conventional type, with the minor flow tube connected to the particle outlet at the bottom of the cyclone. The others were modified cyclone concentrators with a gap betw...

A design of a nonblocking, all-optical lightpath concentrator using WOC and WDM crossbar switches is presented. The proposed concentrator is highly scalable, cost-efficient, and can switch signals in both space and wavelength domains without requiring a separate wavelength conversion stage.

This paper analyzes the power ratio between the directed line of sight configuration links increased by reducing the receiver Field of View (FOV). Line of Sight systems employ high degree of directionality of the transmitter and receiver and uninterrupted LOS. LOS link design reduces multipath distortion and increases power efficiency. The performance of the link relies upon the existence of an...

III-V concentrator solar cells are starting to be commercialized. However, no complete studies about their reliability have been carried out. A review about both the accelerated ageing tests and real time tests developed till now is presented. A proposal about the required tests is also done. In this stage, the tests show that III-V concentrator cells are robust devices with MTTFs well over the...

This paper presents results following the application of a sub-optimal control scheme, both through simulation and in situ, from the operation of Section C of the CODELCO-Andina copper concentrator plant. The algorithm permits the determination of the necessary control action at each instant of time in order to maximize a defined plant performance index. The main objective of the algorithm is t...

This document describes a set of Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) Attribute Value Pair (AVP) extensions designed to carry the subscriber Access Line identification and characterization information that arrives at the Broadband Remote Access Server (BRAS) with L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC) functionality. It also describes a mechanism to report connection speed changes, after the initial connec...

Paper describes start-up of Croatian Academic Research Wide Area Monitoring System (CARWAMS), which is intended to support involvement of small R&D teams into fast developing synchronized measurement technology (SMT). Low voltage synchrophasors are collected by platform called WAMSTER, including handheld Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) and GPRS data transfer to a dedicated served. Measurements ...

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 ...
