title = "Reliability assessment of a linear PV-thermal microconcentrator receiver based on the IEC 62108",
abstract = "The Australian National University (ANU) in collaboration with Chromasun Inc., a US-based company, is developing a new hybrid CPV-Thermal (CPV-T) micro-concentrator (MCT) system that works at a concentration ratio of between 20 to 30X. The system design and reliability testing have been integrated as concurrent processes, enabling the early optimisation of the concentrator system receiver design. The key feature of this integrated design-test procedure is that carefully selected sets of simple tests can be conducted concurrently with the design of the concentrator module, without introducing extensive time delays in the receiver module design phase. Test results provide valuable information that significantly informs the design process and helps to avoid future failures.",
