Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of a concentrating photovoltaic/thermal solar collector
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a parabolic trough photovoltaic/thermal collector with a geometric concentration ratio of 37× is described and the impact of non-uniform illumination on the solar cells is investigated using purpose built equipment that moves a calibrated solar cell along the line of the receiver and measures short circuit current.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of an approach to compare the ‘value’ of electrical and thermal output from a domestic PV/thermal system
Joe Coventry,Keith Lovegrove +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on methods that can be employed to develop a ratio between electrical and thermal output from a domestic style PV/Thermal system, including thermodynamic analysis using exergy, market analysis for both an open market and a renewable energy market; and environmental analysis using avoided greenhouse gas emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dish systems for CSP
Joe Coventry,Charles E. Andraka +1 more
TL;DR: A review of parabolic dish technology, for concentrating solar power (CSP) applications, by examining features such as mode of tracking, structure and mirror design, for a wide selection of CSP dish examples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in heliostat development
Andreas Pfahl,Joe Coventry,Marc Röger,Fabian Wolfertstetter,Juan Felipe Vásquez-Arango,Fabian Gross,Maziar Arjomandi,Peter Schwarzbözl,Mark Geiger,Phillip Liedke +9 more
TL;DR: Strong efforts are being made to drive heliostat cost down, with new approaches even target cost of 75$/m2 seem to be realistic.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of sodium receiver technologies for central receiver solar power plants
TL;DR: In this article, the potential of sodium receivers to increase the overall solar-to-electricity efficiency of central receiver solar power plants, also known as solar tower systems, is examined.
