The linear Fresnel lens solar concentrator: transverse tracking error effects
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5244372
The solar concentration performance of a line focusing, flat base Fresnel lens in the presence of small transverse tracking errors was analyzed. Solar transmittance of the lens and focal plane imaging characteristics were evaluated. Transmission losses by reflectance and material absorption were also studied.
