Abstract

The project EUCLIDES, subsidized by the European Union, had the aim of demonstrating the feasibility of cost reduction using reflective parabolic trough solar concentrators. The concentrator is conceived as one axis, horizontal tracking North/South oriented array, 72 meters long. The geometric concentration ratio is 32X. A prototype, 24 meters long, has been developed and installed in Madrid, Spain. The overall efficiencies of 14 series connected receiving modules is 15.0% at 25/spl deg/C. Such modules consist of 12 BP Solar SATURN concentrator solar cells, fully encapsulated. Costs analysis, after the prototype construction, shows that a total cost of 3.30 $/Wp for a grid connected solar power plant is achievable at the 10 MW production level. Also parabolic troughs have proved their suitability as PV concentrators.

EUCLIDES原型:PV浓度的高效抛物线槽
EUCLIDES项目由欧洲联盟资助,其目的是证明使用反射抛物面槽太阳能聚光器降低成本的可行性。集中器被设想为一个轴,水平跟踪南北方向的阵列,72米长。几何浓度比为32X。一个24米长的原型已经开发出来并安装在西班牙马德里。在25/spl度/C时,14个串联接收模块的总效率为15.0%。这种模块由12个BP Solar SATURN聚光太阳能电池组成,完全封装。原型机建成后的成本分析表明,在10兆瓦的生产水平上,并网太阳能发电厂的总成本为3.30美元/Wp。抛物面槽也证明了其作为光伏聚光器的适用性。
