[TRNSYS-users] Fresnel collector

[Andrés Montero <andresmonteroi@gmail.com>]

Dear users,

 

Someone told me that is possible to use Type71 (trnsys 16) in order to simulate a Fresnel collector. I have the IAM data file to feed the type and all the coefficients to represent its efficiency.

I need some inputs for this model (type71) and one of them is the incident radiation. Would I have to connect the radiation processor (type 16g) to evacuated tube collecto (type 71) with the following assumption:

- Solar zenith angle = Solar zenith angle

- Solar azimuth angle = Solar azimuth angle

- Beam radiation on surface 1 = Incident radiation

- Incidence angle for surface 1 = Solar incidence angle

 

I know this is an approximation to the real behaivour of a Fresnel collector but at least I can simulate this collector in a certain way.

 

Regards,
