Abstract

The ray-tracing method was used for optical analysis of the parabolic concentrators. The flux density distribution on the focal plane was calculated by the Monte-Carlo method. The random surface error, sun shape, tracking error, position error and shadow of receiver, diffuse reflection and various semi-opening angles cases were taken into account. The validity of the method is demonstrated by calculations, It is a theory base for optimizing the system design and measuring the flux density distribution on the receiver.
