Optical Design of a Novel Two-Stage Dish Applied to Thermochemical Water/CO<sub>2</sub> Splitting with the Concept of Rotary Secondary Mirror

In this paper, a novel two-stage dish concentrator (TSD) with a rotary secondary mirror (SM) is presented for solar thermal water/CO<sub>2</sub> splitting. An in-house code for ray-tracing simulation of the concentrator was developed and validated. Among all feasible geometries, a hyperb...
