Abstract:The Fresnel system can achieve high electrical energy yield compared to the traditional photovoltaic (PV) panel techniques due to the concentration of solar energy. However, this huge energy might cause overheating of the PV panel. The objective of this research is to mathematically model a linear Fresnel system that is cooled by either spraying the PV panel by tap water or chilled water, in order to determine the maximum possible concentration ratio, which is called the critical concentration ratio. Then, the… Show more
