Solar radiation concentration in parabolocylindrical system with focusing wedge

The problem of whether it is possible to increase the concentration of solar radiation in parabolocylindrical concentrators (PCC) with the help of a secondary concentrator of the “focusing wedge” (FW) (foclin) type has been examined. It is found that the foclin is able to increase the focal concentr...

Description
Summary:The problem of whether it is possible to increase the concentration of solar radiation in parabolocylindrical concentrators (PCC) with the help of a secondary concentrator of the “focusing wedge” (FW) (foclin) type has been examined. It is found that the foclin is able to increase the focal concentration of the PCC from 5 to 100 %, depending on the PCC aperture angle.
