Abstract: Parametric cylindrical solar collector with an optimized secondary reconcentrator and its design process, where the geometry of the primary reflector is an evolution of the Helmet collector concept towards a discontinuous curve that allows increasing the C/Cmax concentration to over 0.52 as well as reducing the wind loads. The structure is optimized to withstand the different loads to which the collector is exposed. The collector's center of gravity is brought closer to the axis of rotation of the collector. The geometry of the secondary reconcentrator is optimized and the collection efficiency of the collector is of 100 %. The secondary reconcentrator is obtained partially mirroring the glass tube that keeps the vacuum in the absorber tube. ( Figure 3 )

Abstract: Method for distributing heliostats in a tower solar plant surrounded by a field of heliostats which reflect solar radiation on said tower. The distribution method for said heliostats consists of imitating the systems that are found in nature to maximize the collection of light (plant seeds, leaves and petals) and which is mathematically described by Fermat spirals in a number belonging to the Fibonacci series, through the placement, in polar coordinates, of each heliostat according to a radius and an angle defined by r n = c n ⋅ n ; θ n = n ⋅ 2 ⋅ π τ 2 ;
being:
o r n distance from the tower (2) to the position of the heliostat n (3),
o θ n the angle formed by the radius r n with the radius r n-1 ,
o n number of the heliostat (3) we wish to place,
o c n parameter that corresponds to the compactness index of the heliostats (3) in the plant,
o τ the irrational limit of the golden section, i.e., τ = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + …

Abstract: Embodiments may include systems and methods to create and edit a representation of a worksite, to create various data objects, to classify such objects as various types of pre-defined “features” with attendant properties and layout constraints. As part of or in addition to classification, an embodiment may include systems and methods to create, associate, and edit intrinsic and extrinsic properties to these objects. A design engine may apply of design rules to the features described above to generate one or more solar collectors installation design alternatives, including generation of on-screen and/or paper representations of the physical layout or arrangement of the one or more design alternatives. In some embodiments, metadata about the design process, including the process of classifying features and providing user input, generating layouts, and then modifying those layouts, may be generated. The metadata may include information about exceptional conditions in the project state information or design. A list of exceptions corresponding to exceptional conditions may be generated, and the designer may interact with these exceptions in a variety of ways, such as by complying with rules to remove an item from the exceptions list or overriding the application of the rules. The exceptions may be non-blocking relative to other user actions.

Abstract: Es wird ein Verfahren zur Prognose einer drohenden Abschattung einer Photovoltaikanlage durch Wolkenbildung oder Wolkenbewegung vorgestellt. Dabei wird in einer ersten Ausführungsform ein Teil des Firmaments mittels einer Fischaugenoptik (50) auf die Eingangsoptik einer Digitalkamera (56) abgebildet. Es werden Pixelgruppen (70) gebildet, die einem zugeordneten Lichtintensitätsbereich entsprechen. Der örtliche Verlauf der Gruppen (70) wird dahingehend analysiert, ob er zu Abschattungen einer Photovoltaikanlage (PV1) führen kann.
Gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform wird eine Linie (111) aus dem Bereich der PV-Anlage zur Sonne (105) hin gebildet und ständig nachgeführt. Um die Linie (111) herum wird ein Bereich (113) festgelegt, innerhalb dessen sich eine Referenzlinie (117) befindet. Es wird der Durchzug von Wolken (121) über die Referenzlinie (117) analysiert.
Das Ergebnis der Analyse dient dazu, die elektrische Leistung der PV-Anlage durch Zuschalten eines Ersatzenergielieferanten auf einen Mindestwert aufzustocken oder durch Wegschalten von Verbrauchern so zu reduzieren, dass wichtige Verbraucher nicht unter einen Mindestwert an zugelieferter Energie fallen.

Abstract: Adherence to flux or resultant measurable parameter limits, ranges, or patterns can be achieved by directing heliostat mounted mirrors to focus on aiming points designated on the surface of a solar receiver. Different heliostats can be directed to different aiming points, and a heliostat can be directed to different aiming points at different times. The cumulative flux distribution resulting from directing a plurality of heliostats to any aiming point on a receiver surface can be predicted by using statistical methods to calculate the expected beam projection for each individual heliostat or alternatively for a group of heliostats. Control of the heliostats in a solar power system can include designating aiming points on a receiver from time to time and assigning heliostats to aiming points from time to time in accordance with an optimization goal.

Abstract: An automated method causes a terrestrial solar cell array (105) to track the sun. The solar cell system includes drive motors (210,211) that adjust a position of the array relative to respective different axes. The position of the sun is predicted at a future time, and a kinematic model for the solar cell array is used to determine respective positions for the motors corresponding to aligning the solar cell array with the sun at that future time. The future time may correspond to any time during solar tracking operation, which may begin at sunrise or after sunrise. Additionally, an alignment analysis may be performed during solar tracking to properly align the solar cell array with the sun. The technique may sweep one or more solar cells along determined paths (e.g., azimuth and elevation paths) while measuring an output parameter indicative of system performance. The measured data is analyzed to determine if the solar cell system is in misalignment in which case the solar cell system is moved into proper alignment. The alignment procedure may be implemented on a periodic basis or using triggers, and maybe automatically executed or manually executed.
