Composites in the Design Optimization of Biconvex Refractive Solar Concentrators. Study and Calculation of Prototypes

Abstract:

The present work tries to study the important role which they carry out the Composites, in the complex process of the design of solar refractive concentrators, that would be unthinkable and unrealizable without their employment, when having necessary the technical characteristics that they make them viable. It contributes, also, the methodologies followed for the accomplishment of optimal prototypes, by means of Numeric Methods of simulation (Finite Elements), experimental on models and of characterization of composite laminates.
