title = "A Hybrid solar linear concentrator prototype in India",
abstract = "The technical and economic potential of solar linear concentrator systems in India is being analysed by The Australian National University (Canberra) and Anna University (Chennai). The main objectives of this study are to identify the markets for solar linear concentrator systems in India, and to evaluate the field performance of a new prototype system under specific Indian climate conditions. The new hybrid linear solar concentrator prototype is being installed at the Anna University campus. This demonstration and training prototype follows the well-known ANU CHAPS system design, but on a smaller scale, to simultaneously provide electricity and hot water. The technical potential of the new linear concentrator will be assessed on the basis of available local skills to maintain and operate the system, the local cost of installation including locally-sourced materials, and the economic value of the energy produced over the expected system lifetime.",
