SCoSCo project
Solar Collectors with Static Concentrators for applications at intermediate to medium temperatures
Towards developing industrial Solar Thermal Collectors
Objectives
Aiming to provide heat at 150°C using solar thermal collectors. Static concentrators are used to take advantage of the non-uniform distribution of reflected sun rays. Our innovative design is robust, having few and fully enclosed moving parts
About
Methods
Validating our predictions against real data. The optical behavior of the proposed systems are modeled extensively to ensure optimal performance. The constructed prototypes will be tested experimentally in outdoor conditions.
Plan
Outcome
Prototype devices with high market potential will be constructed, aiming to fil a market gap. State of the art technology will be applied and tested during the process. Practical knowledge will be transfered from research to the industry
