Abstract

The Australian National University (ANU) is developing a new hybrid CPV/Thermal micro-concentrator (MCT) system working at a concentration ratio of 20 to 30X. System design and reliability have been integrated as a concurrent process, enabling early optimisation of the concentrator design. The key feature of this procedure is that a carefully selected set of simple tests can be conducted concurrently with the design of the concentrator module, without introducing time delays on the module design. Test results provide valuable information that significantly informs the design process and helps to avoid future failures.
