Embodiment Construction

[0047] Figure 5-9 A solar collector system 32 according to a preferred embodiment of the invention is shown. The collector system 32 includes an array 34 of linear reflectors defining a mirror surface, a focal receiver 36 for heating a heat absorbing medium located at the focal point (i.e., the focal axis) of the array 34 and a structure 38 Adapted to absorb heat from sunlight reflected from the linear reflectors, the support structure 38 is adapted to support the array 34 and focus receiver 36 . The receivers 36 extend symmetrically with respect to the array 34 .

[0048] However, unlike prior art linear Fresnel collectors 16, the support structure 38 of the collector system 32 is specifically corrugated, elevated and adapted to rotate about a single axis 39 such that the aperture of the mirror surface is aligned with the mirror surface at right angles to the plane of , which in turn is constantly pointing or perpendicular to the sun, as shown in Figure 12. In this embodi...

Abstract

A solar energy collector system (32) has a fixed array (34) of reflectors (40) extending in parallel rows, and a common focal receiver (36) located above the fixed array (34) and extending parallel to the rows of reflectors (40). Incident solar radiation from all of the reflectors is reflected upon the receiver (36) which includes a heat absorbing medium adapted to absorb heat from the reflected radiation. There is an elevated support structure (38) for the fixed array (34) of reflectors and the receiver (36). The support structure (38) orients each row of reflectors at a respective fixed angle relative to the support structure. The support structure (38) is pivotally mounted to an upright elevation assembly (77) to allow controlled rotation of the fixed array (34) and receiver (36) simultaneously about a pivotal axis (39) extending parallel to the rows of reflectors (40) so as to track the movement of the sun.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to solar collector systems, and more particularly to systems and methods for concentrating solar energy to generate heat and steam, eg, for electricity generation. Background technique [0002] Various types of solar collectors are known, including non-concentrating and concentrating. For example, the non-concentrating type uses an array of detecting or receiving devices (such as photovoltaic cells or solar panels on hot water pipes) to intercept the parallel non-concentrating rays of the sun. Photovoltaic cells use photovoltaic materials to harvest sunlight and convert it directly into electricity. Concentrating collectors use special mirror components to concentrate the energy rays to concentrate the rays and produce a strong beam of energy. Typically, such assemblies include a parabolic mirror or lens assembly to reflect sunlight onto a focal receiver, usually a tube carrying a thermal fluid (such as highly refined pa...
