HCPV Trackers Arrangement Based On Space Coordinate Transformations

摘要

A new pattern of space coordinate system based on sun-tracking surface has been introduced in this paper. The calculation of shadow area between HCPV trackers has been simplified within this kind of coordinate system. The spaces between rows and columns of HCPV arrays can be calculated accurately. Therefore, an appropriate layout of trackers arrangement for a HCPV power plant can be determined and designed by use of this method.
