본 연구에서 원추형 태양열 집광기의 흡수관 표면의 흑색 도색 여부에 따른 효율분석을 수행하였다. 원추형 집광기 시스템은 열 손실 최소화 및 집광비가 우수한 $45^{\circ}$의 원추각을 갖는 원추형 집광기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 원추형 태양열 집광시스템은 열매체 축열을 위한 온도센서가 내장된 축열조와 태양에너지를 집열시키는 원추형 집광기, 유량측정을 위한 유량계, 열매체의 강제순환을 위한 펌프로 구성되어있다. 또한 지속적인 태양추적을 위해 2축 태양 추적 장치를 설치하였다. 흡수관은 원추형 집광기의 중심부에 설비되었으며, 열매체의 순환을 위해 이중 열교환기 구조로 제작되었다. 흡수관의 길이는 열 손실을 최소화하기 위하여 집광기의 높이와 동일하게 설계하였다. 원추형 집광시스템의 작동유체인 물은 펌프에 의해 흡수관과 축열조를 강제순환 하게되고, 용량이 70L인 축열조에 흡수관으로부터 흡수된 태양 복사열이 저장된다. 원추형 집광시스템의 성능실험은 청명한 날 유량 2L/min, 4L/min, 6L/min에 대해 수행되었으며, 집열효율을 계산하여 비교 및 분석하였다. 흑색으로 도색된 흡수기를 부착한 원추형 집광시스템의 집열효율은 82.25%로 나타났으며, 무 도색 흡수관을 갖는 원추형 집광시스템은 73.26%의 집열효율을 나타내었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 흡수관 표면의 흑색 도색이 원추형 집광시스템의 집열효율에 큰 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Purpose: To develop a solar concentrator having the reflecting surface with the 2m class diameter. Methods: In order to make the reflecting surface for the solar concentrator, the shape of the reflecting surface sector is required. So, first, we induced the formula that can produce this shape. After that, using Delphi 6.0 language, we developed a program which uses this formula and produces the shape and the numerical data of the reflecting surface sector with the input variables such as the external diameter of the reflecting mirror, the reflecting mirror's radius of curvature at the paraxial range, the number of reflecting mirror sector, the size of the center hole of the reflecting mirror, and the interval of the output data. Results: This program, which was developed to produce the shape and the numerical data of the reflecting surface sector, enables us to see the shape of sector on the monitor and to save the numerical data files for the shape of sector. As a result, the user of this program can easily access the numerical data of the reflecting surface sector. Conclusions: Developing the program which produce the reflecting surface sector used to make the reflecting surface of the solar concentrator, we could succeed in making the prototype products by applying it to the development of the real solar concentrator with the diameter of the 2m class.

3족과 5족 물질로 구성된 III-V 고효율 화합물 태양전지는 태양광 스펙트럼에 대한 많은 파장영역대의 빛을 흡수할 수 있는 장점을 갖고 있어 지구상에서 만든 태양전지 중 가장 효율이 높다. 그러나, III-V 화합물 물질은 실리콘 보다 고가의 비용이 들므로 이를 극복하기 위해서 집광렌즈 및 빛을 추적하기 위한 추적기 등 집광시스템으로 구성되어야 한다. 본고에서는 고효율의 III-V 화합물 태양전지의 현재 기술개발동향 및 고효율 저가화를 위한 방안으로 기판재활용 기술, 태양광 태양열 복합활용 시스템 및 소형집광모듈 등을 소개하고자 한다.

In this study, we numerically investigated the concentration characteristics of a linear Fresnel reflector system that can drive a solar thermal absorption refrigeration system to be installed in Saudi Arabia. Using an optical modeling program based on the Monte Carlo ray-tracing method, we simulated the concentrated solar flux, concentration efficiency, and concentrated solar energy on four representative days of the year - the vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice. Except the winter solstice, the concentrations were approximately steady from 9 AM to 15 PM, and the concentration efficiencies exceed 70%. Moreover, the maximum solar flux around the solar receiver center changes only within the range of $13.0{\sim}14.6kW/m^2$. When we investigated the effects of the receiver installation height, reflector width, and reflector gap, the optimal receiver installation height was found to be 5 m. A smaller reflector width had a greater concentration efficiency. However, the design of the reflector width should be based on the capacity of the refrigeration system because it dominantly affects the concentrated solar energy. The present study was an essential prerequisite for thermal analyses of the solar receiver. Thus, an optical-thermal integration study in the future will assist with the performance prediction and design of the entire system.

This experimental study represents the results of an analysis on the characteristics of flux density distribution in the focal region of solar concentrator. The characteristics of flux density distributions are investigated to optimally design and position a cavity receiver. This was deemed very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a dish concentrator. We estimated the flux density distribution on the target placed along with focal lengths from the dish vertex to experimentally determine the focal length. It is observed that the actual focal point exists when the focal length is 2.17m. The total integrated power and percent power was 2467W and $85.8\%$, respectively, in the case of small dish, and also 2095W and $79\%$, respectively, in the case of KIERDISH II. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The minimum radius of receiver in KIERDISH II is found to be 0.15m and approximately $90\%$ of the incident radiation is intercepted by receiver aperture.

To evaluate the performance of concentrating solar cookers, a parabolic solar cooker have been designed and constructed. Tests were carried out to define the performance characteristics of concentrating cookers under ambient conditions. The performance and test of the solar cooker were measured and conducted using the international standard procedure that was proposed at the Third World Conference on solar cooking. Stagnation temperature and water heating tests were carried out to determine the maximum temperature attained by the cooker and to evaluate the thermal performance of the cooker. The analysis showed that the solar cooker has maximum cooking power and efficiency 474W, 420W and 41%, 40%, respectively.

An experimental study on energy density distributions produced by dish solar concentrating system was performed to optimally design and rightly position a cavity receiver. This deemed also very useful to find and correct various errors associated with a concentrator. It is observed that the actual focal length is 2.17 m with a maximum energy density of 1.89 MW/$m^2$. By evaluating the position of flux centroid, it was found that there are errors within 2 cm from the target center. As a result of the percent power within radius, approximately 90% of the incident radiation is intercepted by about 0.06 m radius. The area concentration ratio normalized to 800 W/$m^2$ insolation and 90% mirror reflectivity was 347 suns. The total integrated power of 2467 W was measured under focal flux distributions, which corresponds to the intercept rate of 85.8%.
