A NEW 500 m2 PARABOLOIDAL DISH SOLAR CONCENTRATOR
The Australian National University (ANU) has worked for many years on paraboloidal dish solar concentrators and demonstrated a 400m2 system in 1994. The commercialization of this technology has involved a re-design of the Big Dish concept for mass production. The new design is a 494 m2 concentrator with 13.4 m focal length and altitude-azimuth tracking. It uses 380 identical spherical 1.17m × 1...
متن کاملDesign of a polymer optical fiber luminescent solar concentrator
We present the design and optimization of a polymeric optical fiber luminescent solar concentrator (FLSC) and systematically investigate the impact of the geometrical and physical parameters of the fiber and active luminescent dopants on the FLSC performance. A multiplicity of individual FLSCs may be arranged on a surface to form a low-weight and mechanically flexible solar concentrating fabric...
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 کاملModelling of a 400m steam based Paraboloidal Dish concentrator for solar thermal power production
The Australian National University has a 400m Paraboloidal dish solar concentrator system, informally named “the Big Dish” that produces superheated steam via a receiver mounted monotube boiler. The system, (shown in Figure 1) which is the worlds largest was constructed in 1994. This paper describes the results of the latest experimental tests plus associated system performance modelling. The s...
متن کاملOptical Modelling of Square Solar Concentrator
This paper deals with the optical design of a photovoltaic solar concentrator composed by two squared reflection mirrors. The optical configuration of the device, is based on the Cassegrain telescope and designed in order to maximize the fill factor over the irradiated area and by providing an easily manufactured shape. The collection unit has been simulated and optimized by a ray tracing metho...
