Abstract
|
|
|---|---|
| This chapter describes the EUCLIDES conentration System. EUCLIDES is a reflective parabolic trough concentrator (PTC) that consists of a linear array tracking around a horizontal N/S axis. The system was conceived in the mid-1990s, sustained on two fundamentals pillars. Firstly, the background and wide-ranging experience with linear thermal concentrators, such as the projects carried out in the mid-1980s in California. The second pillar was the entry into the PV market of buried grid laser groove (BLGC) cells, designed by M. Green et al. and commercialized by BP Solar as SATURN technology | |
