    • A homogeniser inspired by the crustacean’s eye with uniform irradiance distribution and high optical efficiency characteristics for concentrated photovoltaics system
    Authors: Duc Tu Vu;  Advisor: Hoang Vu; Ngoc Hai Vu;  Co-Author: - (2021)

    We devise an implicitly new design for boosting the light uniformity in the concentrated photovoltaics (CPV) system, whereby addressing the overheating issue of the PV cell and enhancing the electrical cell efficiency. Rather than using a well-known system of the Cassegrain concentrator design, consisting of double mirrors + a homogeniser, in this study, we mimic a structure of crustacean’s eyes for a design of homogeniser, consisting of an array of a mirror channel. Such proposed design allows making use of only a primary parabolic mirror + a homogeniser to concentrate and redistribute the sunlight, representing a large departure from virtually all of the previous studies. Specifically, such homogeniser can furcate the light beam into the small channels/trenches, redirect the light...
