A solar energy cascade utilization system using concentrated solar power is being
developed in response to the growing demand for renewable energy and distributed power …

In this paper, a pilot scale solar Linear Fresnel Reflector of 154 m 2 is designed and optically
analyzed with two different profiles for the secondary concentrator. Compounded profiles of …

Small-scale concentrated solar power plants equipped with Micro Gas Turbines (MGTs)
could be an effective way for power production in the off-grid areas. One of the most relevant …

This article presents the results of computer simulations devoted to optimization of the high-
temperature heat receiver, for concentrating solar radiation based on Ray Tracing method …

Ray-Tracing software tools have been widely used in the optical design of solar
concentrating collectors. In spite of the ability of these tools to assess the geometrical and …

The present paper is focused on drawing a high performance modeling and computation of
a low concentrating collector combined into a Photovoltaic/Thermal system. A 3-D …

This work introduced a modern method to design and manufacture a solar thermal collector
using parabolic dish collector with a cavity receiver-type by using a thermal heat exchanger …

In order to increase the trust and willingness to invest in concentrating solar collectors, an
accurate labeling and certification process is of utmost importance. Today's collector testing …

We explore the potential for adaptive air barriers to mitigate convective heat losses from
cavity receivers, especially at large tilt angles, using both suction and blowing nozzles. A …

In order to maximize solar energy utilization in a limited space (eg, rooftops), solar collectors
should track the sun. As an alternative to rotational tracking systems, this paper presents a …
