Testing Parabolic-Dish Concentrators
Abstract
Report describes test equipment and tests at Parabolic Dish Test Site at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Site established in 1978 for testing point-focusing solar concentrators operating at temperatures above 600 degree F. Used for six years to evaluate parabolic-dish concentrators, receivers, power-conversion units, and solar/fossil-fuel hybrid units. Report describes evolution of test program at site, lists experiments conducted there in chronological order, and summarizes experimental data.
