Obtención de la eficiencia óptica de un disco parabólico mediante método SHOT modificado

Abstract

The concentrated solar power is a set of technologies capable of obtaining high-temperature thermal energy from solar rays. There are several ways to achieve this, but they all have two components in common: a mirror that concentrates the sun's rays and a receiver that is capable of transforming those rays into thermal energy. A very important characteristic of these systems is optical efficiency, which can be evaluated using different methodologies. In the present study, the analysis of a parabolic disk type concentrator is performed to obtain its optical efficiency using a modified SHOT method. This result is then compared with those obtained previously using the constant mass calorimeter methodology
