Throughout the recent centuries, the limits of using energy resources due to the cost and
environmental issues became one of the scientists' concerns. Because of the huge amount …

The focus of this research is to develop a solar concentrator which is compact, static and, at
the same time, able to collect maximum solar energy. A novel geometry of a 3-D static …

Concentrating technology is long established in the field of solar thermal applications.
However, there is still scope for improvement due to innovation in design, materials and …

This paper is a literature study of daylight transport systems aiming at selecting the most
appropriate ones for application at high latitudes. It is limited to the systems that transport …

In this work, three different geometrical properties have been considered to develop a new
solar concentrator design for Window Integrated Concentrating Photovoltaic (WICPV). They …

Optical fibres can add interesting possibilities in solar concentrator systems, such as
transport of light for remote illumination as well as solar energy conversion. In order to …

For efficient and cost effective utilization Solar energy solar concentrators are vital. These
are finding increasing applications in many solar energy applications such as concentrated …

We present a family of three-dimensional concentrators constructed from the photic field
generated by a Lambertian emitter. The profile of these concentrators is obtained from the …

This thesis begins with an investigation into the optical performances of the Crossed
Compound Parabolic Concentrator (CCPC) for photovoltaic application and introduces the …

This paper presents the design and experimental analysis of a static 3-D solar elliptical
hyperboloid concentrator (EHC) for process heat applications. The 3-D static elliptical …
