Solar Trough Concentrator Design for Uniform Radiative Flux Distribution

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We analytically derive the exact profile of a trough concentrator that distributes uniformly incident collimated radiation uniformly over a rectangular target area, as needed for concentrated PV at moderate concentrations up to approx. 50 suns.
