Analysis of Co-Generation Concentrated Solar Power System by Using Fresnel Lens and Comparison with Solar Concentrate System
This study examines a brand-new Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) system that heats water and generates electricity by focusing solar thermal energy onto a thermoelectric module using a Fresnel lens. The components of the setup include an infrared thermometer, heat pipes, a thermoelectric module, a platform, a water storage tank, a heat spreader plate, and a Fresnel lens. A high heat flux source is provided by the Fresnel lens, and heat pipes submerged in a water storage tank passively cool the thermoelectric module. This system maximises solar energy capture and utilisation, minimises carbon emissions, and lessens dependency on fossil fuels in order to meet the demand for effective, sustainable energy solutions.
