Northern African countries on energy imports and fossil fuels. Situation made Morocco one of the most extremely dependent Nearly 61% of the overall national energy consumption. Energy consumption has risen at an averageĪnnual rate of 5.7% from 2002 to 2011 where petroleum represents Currently, the kingdom imports about 96% of its Nowadays, due to geopolitical circumstances in the MENA region, the energetic situation in Morocco has become one of the We have demonstrated quantitatively how the use of curved mirrors can enhance the optical performance and reduce The optical efficiency of the system are relatively sensitive to the mirror curvatur e. It has been found that the flux distribution over the receiver and Study is to find a trade-off between heliostat curvature and receiver height since lower and smaller
System is evaluated as a function of mirror curvature and receiver height. Of verification tests were developed and detailed within this article. Order to assess the accuracy of the numerical code developed and the validity of simulation results, a set Used to optimize the optical design taking into account the curvature degree of the heliostat field. For this purpose, a Monte Carlo-ray tracing simulation tool is developed and The objective is to highlightĪnd discuss the effect of mirror curvature on the flux density distribution over the receiver and the The present paper gives a numerical investigation of the effect of mirror curvature on optical performance of a Linear Fresnel Reflector solar field installed recently in Morocco.
