Slope Measurements of Parabolic Dish Concentrators Using Color-Coded Targets
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A new fast and highly accurate method for measuring the slope errors of parabolic dish concentrators has been developed. This method uses a flat target with colored stripes placed close to ...
Pyrometric Temperature Measurements on Solar Thermal High Temperature Receivers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The knowledge of the absorber surface temperature distribution is essential for efficient operation and further development of solar thermal high temperature receivers. However, the concentrated ...
Beam Characterization and Improvement with a Flux Mapping System for Dish Concentrators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A flux mapping system able to measure the flux distribution of dish/Stirling systems in planes perpendicular to the optical axis was built and operated at the Plataforma Solar de Almerı́a ...
Dish-Stirling Systems: An Overview of Development and Status
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Dish-Stirling systems have demonstrated the highest efficiency of any solar power generation system by converting nearly 30% of direct-normal incident solar radiation into electricity after accounting ...
