Fundamentals of designing hybrid concentrator solar systems

Abstract

Abstract. The paper considers the technique of hybrid concentrator solar plants developing with a new design that increases the optical concentration ratio and utilizes additionally diffuse solar radiation. The circulation of heat carrier passes in divided PV modules and thermal collectors circuits on a common carrier platform with the implementation of resetting heat in a counter flow mode in the linear heat exchangers. Described data experiments and calculations of specific performance of electric and thermal energy for different concentration ratio and at different installation latitudes as well as the cost of energy production calculations.
