This project focuses on developing lightweight and durable components for concentrated solar power systems using carbon fiber composites. The goal is to enhance energy efficiency and reduce installation costs by creating a self-supporting solar collector that minimizes weight while maintaining structural integrity.
The principle of concentrated solar power (CSP) is to reflect and focus solar energy collected from a wide area on to one point, using the thermal energy to produce steam or a hot liquid in order to transfer or store the energy.For this proposal, the solar collector will be made of carbon fibre composite material.
This can be designed to be stiff (maintaining its position) whilst being light weight.
For a similar sized currently used heliostat CSP, the structure would be self supporting (Sandwic…
