摘要 |
A multi-stage solar concentrator (10) for use in a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) electrical power generation system or process heating applications, said concentrator including a static planar solar collector (11), a paraboloidal mirror (12) receiving photons from the planar solar collector, and a compoun d parabolic solar concentrator (13) receiving photons from both said planar solar collector and said paraboloidal mirror. Suitably a solar oven (15) adapted for use in a fluid circuit of the MHD system or in process heating receives concentrated solar energy from the solar concentrator (10) via a transparent window (14).
