CLUSTERED SOLAR-ENERGY CONVERSION ARRAY AND METHOD THEREFOR |
摘要 |
A solar-energy conversion (SEC) array (24) and method of operation are presented. The array (24) has an aim direction (48) substantially coincident with a solar direction (50) when the array (24) is operational. The array (24) is made up of an array-support structure (26), and a plurality of SEC clusters (28). Each cluster (28) is made up of a number of SEC units (44) and a single cell-support structure (32). Each SEC unit (44) is made up of a concave mirror (30) coupled to the array-support structure (26), and a cell assembly (34). The cell assembly (34) is made up of a cell housing (68) containing an SEC cell (72), and a passive heat-extraction unit (70) thermally coupled to the cell (72) and configured to extract and dissipate heat. The cell-support structure (32) is made up of a support column (56) coupled to the array-support structure (26), and individual support arms (60) coupling each of cell assemblies (34) to the support column (56). |
