Modeling of Drift Effects on Solar Tower Concentrated Flux Distributions

International Journal of Photoenergy, 2016
A novel modeling tool for calculation of central receiver concentrated flux distributions is presented, which takes into account drift effects. This tool is based on a drift model that includes different geometrical error sources in a rigorous manner and

Integrated Concentrating Solar/Photovoltaic Hybrid Concepts—Technological Discussion, Energy Yield, and Cost Considerations

Energy Technology, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2024.
Four concepts for the integrated combination of photovoltaics and CST plants are discussed and compared regarding energy production and investment cost. It is estimated that the additional annual energy yield due to the use of the concepts may be as high as 40% using the same aperture area.
