title = "Technical and economic potential of solar linear concentrators in India",
abstract = "The technical and economic potential of solar linear concentrators in India is being analysed by The Australian National University (Canberra) and Anna University (Chennai) under the Australia-India Strategic Research Fund (AISRF) and the Indian Ministry of Science and Technology funding. The main objectives are to identify the markets for solar linear concentrator systems in India and to evaluate the field performance of a new prototype under the specific Indian climate conditions. A hybrid linear solar concentrator prototype is being installed at the Anna University campus. Climate analysis has been conducted in India using the Collares-Pereira-Rabl model to estimate the DNI for a range of locations in India, with early results that show that the direct beam resource in India is in parts low in comparison with the diffuse component, and therefore, some areas of the country may be unsuitable for CPV systems.",
