Abstract

The Scheffler Reflector (SR) is a fix-focus parabolic type solar concentrator applied to produce heat for industrial processes (Jayasimha 2006) and potentially for the generation of electricity as well. An optical model has been developed to study the characteristics of the Scheffler Reflector with a ray tracing algorithm.
