Shadowing and blocking effect optimization for a variable geometry heliostat field
(Elsevier, 2015)
Optimization software is currently a key tool when designing heliostat fields. Shadowing, blocking, atmospheric attenuation, spillage and cosine effect losses can be hugely minimized with proper use of this tool, so they ...

Optical test of the DS1 prototype concentrating surface
(Elsevier, 2015)
This paper describes the optical test of the DS1 prototype concentrating surface carried out by CTAER. The DS1 is a parabolic Stirling dish developed under the framework of “SOLARDIS” project. The aim of this investigation ...

Identifying periods of clear sky direct normal irradiance
(Elsevier, 2017)
When modeling the effect of the cloud transients in the Direct Normal Insolation (DNI), it is particularly relevant to identify those moments in which there are no clouds between the observer and the sun. In this paper, ...

Process Heat Generation Potential from Solar Concentration Technologies in Latin America: The Case of Argentina
(MDPI, 2017-03-17)
This paper evaluates the potential of solar concentration technologies—compound parabolic collector (CPC), linear Fresnel collector (LFC) and parabolic trough collector (PTC)—as an alternative to conventional sources of ...

An improved model for the synthetic generation of high temporal resolution direct normal irradiation time series
(Elsevier, 2015-12)
Several studies have confirmed the relevant impact of the resolution and frequency distribution of solar radiation data on the results of detailed production models. Many of the available direct normal irradiance (DNI) ...
