Design and Optical Performance of Compound Parabolic Solar Concentrators with Evacuated Tube as Receivers
In the present article, six symmetric compound parabolic solar concentrators (CPCs) with all-glass evacuated solar tubes (EST) as the receiver are designed, and a comparative study on their optical performance is performed based on theoretical analysis and ray-tracing simulations. In terms of optica...
