AIP Conference Proceedings [AIP Publishing 15th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaic Systems (CPV-15) - Fes, Morocco (25–27 March 2019)] 15th International Conference on Concentrator Photovoltaic Systems (CPV-15) - Optimum design of V-trough solar concentrator for photovoltaic applications
摘要： This paper presents a novel design of V-trough Solar Concentrator (VSC) for low concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) applications. The conventional VSC design comprises of two flat reflectors slanted by an angle and attached to a PV module. The maximum reported concentration ratio (CR) and optical efficiency (OE) of this concentrator are 2x and 89.91%, respectively. This paper demonstrates the process of improving the VSC. The geometrical and optical performance of the conventional VSC were optimized by the theoretical image technique. The experimental CR and OE are increased by 43.50% and 4.32%, respectively. Then, a crossed V-trough design “Pyramid” is suggested to increase the concentrated radiation. Pyramid concentrator boosted the CR, but the OE is dropped. Eventually, a new VSC geometry is proposed and resulted in CR of 4.70x and OE of 91.83%. The new design demonstrates the possibility of obtaining the same CR using a smaller reflector area than conventional and pyramid V-trough configurations, leading to a reduction in production cost. The results show the potential to further improve this type of solar concentrator for photovoltaic applications.

Optical performance analysis of an innovative linear focus secondary trough solar concentrating system
摘要： The parabolic trough solar concentrating system has been well developed and widely used in commercial solar thermal power plants. However, the conventional system has its drawbacks when connecting receiver tube parts and enhancing the concentration ratio. To overcome those inherent disadvantages, in this paper, an innovative concept of linear focus secondary trough concentrating system was proposed, which consists of a fixed parabolic trough concentrator, one or more heliostats, and a fixed tube receiver. The proposed system not only avoids the end loss and connection problem on the receiver during the tracking process but also opens up the possibility to increase the concentration ratio by enlarging aperture. The design scheme of the proposed system was elaborated in detail in this paper. Besides, the optical performance of the semi and the whole secondary solar trough concentrator was evaluated by using the ray tracing method. This innovative solar concentrating system shows a high application value as a solar energy experimental device.
