Abstract

Due to the secondary mirror blockage of Cassegrain Concentrator , the energy distribution of the Cassegrain Concentrator is not uniform, which will influence on the lifetime of the photovoltaic (PV) receiver. A square-stacked Fresnel zone plate is designed in this paper, which is applied to the square Cassegrain Concentrator at the primary mirror open position, eliminating the central dark area and obtaining a uniform square spot that is suitable for a square PV receiver. The simulation results show that the spot uniformity can reach up to 84.56%.This research result possesses potential application value in solar collectors..
