Optimizing CPV Systems for Thermal and Spectral Tolerance

摘要: Martifer Solar, in collaboration with the Instituto de Energia Solar of Universidad Politecnica Madrid (IES) Madrid, has developed a new CPV system. The IES provided optical design and helped to select component suppliers. scope project is provide state-of-the-art system minimal technical risk: i.e. well-executed rather than novel that leveraged capabilities current supplier ecosystem. Early on, choice was made use all-glass optics: silicone-on-glass primary lens combined molded glass secondary element (SOE) as would combine high performance reliability. As recent work shown, when designing concentrator systems SOG their sensitivity temperature must be taken into account, it shown how an appropriate SOE can reduce this sensitivity. In paper, we discuss best practices for implementing using primaries DTIRC SOEs, show range characterization techniques may used optimize them, including study focal distance temperature. We early results final shows reduced thermal spectral compared other systems.
