| Abstract: | A detailed analysis of the energy contribution by the east/west booster mirror on a horizontal receiver is presented in this paper. The east/west mirror is known to make the energy flux distribution flatter in a day. A quantitative analysis of the degree of flatness of the energy flux distribution due to the east/west mirror, on the basis of flux ratio, is made. It is observed that the energy enhancement factor or boost factor due to the east/west mirror is significant all through the year. These factors make the east/west mirror more attractive in photo-voltaic power generation applications. An algorithm based on a vectorial approach and the laws of reflection developed by the authors is used in the present analysis. |
