Abstract
The numerical results indicate that FFSCs require a reflector with a diameter 45% larger than the diameter of a PD concentrator and increase the diameter of the solar image at the receiver by 350% compared with a PD concentrator. The increase in the diameter of the solar image by the fixed receiver in the FFSC produces a lower concentration. For thermal demands of less than 10Â kW, FFSCs do not have significantly large dimensions. The proposed algorithm can be employed to evaluate the potential use of FFSCs and an FFSC instead of a PD concentrator because of the operational advantages of the fixed receivers of the different types.
