  2. Fresnel lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fresnel_lens

    Such a lens can focus light on a small spot, but does not produce a sharp image. These lenses have application in solar power, such as focusing sunlight on a solar panel. Fresnel lenses may be used as components of Köhler illumination optics resulting in very effective nonimaging optics Fresnel-Köhler (FK) solar concentrators. [64] Linear

  3. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

    A 1,000-kilometre diameter lens is sufficient, and much smaller than what is shown in this simplified image. As a Fresnel lens it would be only a few millimeters thick. Several authors have proposed dispersing light before it reaches the Earth by putting a very large lens in space, perhaps at the L1 point between the Earth and the Sun. This ...

  4. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

    Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) modules on dual axis solar trackers in Golmud, China. Concentrator photovoltaics (CPV) (also known as concentrating photovoltaics or concentration photovoltaics) is a photovoltaic technology that generates electricity from sunlight. Unlike conventional photovoltaic systems, it uses lenses or curved mirrors to ...

  5. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

    A solar power tower consists of an array of dual-axis tracking reflectors (heliostats) that concentrate sunlight on a central receiver atop a tower; the receiver contains a heat-transfer fluid, which can consist of water-steam or molten salt. Optically a solar power tower is the same as a circular Fresnel reflector.

  6. Puerto Errado - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Errado

    Puerto Errado is a linear fresnel lens solar thermal power plant, located in the Region of Murcia of Spain. Puerto Errado 1 is 1.4 megawatts (MW), and was the first Fresnel-lens, solar power plant connected to the grid, in March 2009. [1] It covers an area of 5 hectares (12 acres). [2] Puerto Errado 2 added 30 MW in February, 2012.

  7. Leonard L. Northrup Jr. - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_L._Northrup_Jr.

    Fresnel lens solar collector. Northrup’s break-through technology was a collector [7] that used a long curved acrylic fresnel lens to concentrate or focus sunlight at a theoretical ratio of approximately 12 to 1 onto a linear flat copper tube, coated with a variant of Dr. Tabor's “black chrome” absorptive surface. The array, approximately ...

  8. Solar thermal energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_energy

    Prototypes of Fresnel lens concentrators have been produced for the collection of thermal energy by International Automated Systems. [57] No full-scale thermal systems using Fresnel lenses are known to be in operation, although products incorporating Fresnel lenses in conjunction with photovoltaic cells are already available. [58]

  9. Compact linear Fresnel reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Linear_Fresnel...

    A compact linear Fresnel reflector (CLFR) – also referred to as a concentrating linear Fresnel reflector – is a specific type of linear Fresnel reflector (LFR) technology. They are named for their similarity to a Fresnel lens, in which many small, thin lens fragments are combined to simulate a much thicker simple lens.
