CSP systems are one of the key technologies of the 21st century. However the troughs are aligned on a north-south axis, and so must be rotated to track the sun as it moves across the sky each day. So thousands of square meters of mirrors must be rotated!

 

The ideas presented in the attached PDF-file shows some ideas which leads sunbeams directly to the solar concentrator which otherwise will be lost. This makes it possible to think of CSP systems without moving mirrors!

 

I’m very interested in your opinion!

Hi,
 
Good ideas to solve the problem of low efficiency, tracking errors, space utilisation and operation cost.
 
Where these new improved systems are in operation, how much is the gain in conversion efficiency, space utlisation and cost benifit to conventional systems.
 
Best Wishes,
 
Vinod

Have you validated the ray paths you show in some ray tracing software ?
