Abstract
For a large dish-shaped reflect concentrator directionally tracking the sun, the effects of non-parallelism of solar rays and the of the directional tracking precision of reflectors on the concentrating capability were investigated numerically. Based on the probability model derived from the solar cone, the energy flux distribution the propagation of solar rays on the focal plane was directly simulated by the Monte Carlo method. The concentrating concentrating capabilities of the reflect concentrators with various aperture ratio and the directional tracking precision for the solar rays was compared with that for the collimated beams.
