Abstract

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of the opticalgeometric parameters of a linear Fresnel solar concentrator, focusing on both theoretical calculations and practical measurements. The research explores the intricate distribution of energy density within the focal plane, a crucial factor in determining the efficiency of solar concentrators. By employing modern computational techniques, we have effectively assessed the optical characteristics and heat generation capabilities of the concentrator, shedding light on its performance metrics. Moreover, the study evaluates the economic viability and environmental impact of the experimental plants, underlining the importance of sustainable energy solutions. As part of our contributions, we developed advanced software that accurately determines the size of the focal spot in the focal plane, facilitating more precise optimization of solar concentrators. The findings highlight the potential of linear Fresnel solar concentrators to enhance solar energy capture and conversion, paving the way for future advancements in the field of renewable energy technology.
