A review on concentrator Photovoltaic system
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
A concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) system converts light energy into electrical energy in the same way that conventional photovoltaic technology does. There are two main types of concentrating optical systems in use today: refractive types that use Fresnel lenses, and reflective systems that use one or more mirrors. The main problem in traditional photovoltaic system is having lower efficiency and suffers from temperature degradation in hot climates resulting in up to 20%+ lower energy output than the rated level. It is also dependent on large amounts of photovoltaic material. The cost reduction path for the technology is also limited by the cost of the silicon which composes the bulk of the system. We can overcome this problem by using solar concentrating photovoltaic system. Concentrating solar power plants utilize the same approach as traditional electrical generation plants but replace fossil fuels with sunlight in driving the steam turbines. Concentrating solar power has maturity in the market and has shown reasonably low cost solar electricity generation in large installations. In this research we find out the variation between DNI, amb_temp, conc_temp, power and efficiency.
