Monitoring the Energy Density Distribution in the Focal Zone of the Big Solar Furnace

摘要

For many technological processes and special studies, the given irradiance distributions in the focal zone of the big solar furnace (BSF) is of prime importance. To solve similar problems in solar engineering practice, light flux regulators of different shapes are usually employed, which are located in the neighbourhood of the focus zone before the concentrator heliostats. However, the abilities of regulators are restricted. Using them, one can obtain some specific distributions. Therefore, in most cases they are applied to monitor the flow rate of the light flux.
