Theoretical maximum concentration factors for solar concentrators

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We determine the theoretical maximum concentration factors for different definitions of the factor for two-dimensional and three-dimensional solar concentrators that are valid for any source with nonuniform intensity distribution. Results are obtained starting from those derived by Winston [ J. Opt. Soc. Am. 60, 245 ( 1970)] for Lambertian sources. In particular, maximum concentration factors for three models of the solar-disk intensity distribution are calculated.
