Dear experts,
I am trying to simulate a parabolic trough concentrating collector using the type 50e-mode 8. Have included the defualt SOLCEL data file.
Had a few queries:
1. Parameter 3 - ratio of aperture to absorber area - max allowable value is 1 whereas the concentration ratio of 55 is to be simulated. Please can you advise a solution to this.
2. Input 4 - Incident radiation is required in KJ/hr or KJ/hr/m2?
3. Input 7 - Voltage applied to array - anything above 2V gives unrealistic output.
Thank you for your time.
Regards,
Janeet
