In this paper, we present a systematic procedure to design a solar simulator for high-temperature concentrated solar thermal and thermo-chemical research. The 45 kWe simulator consists of seven identical radiation units of common focus, each comprised of a 6.5 kWe xenon arc lamp close-coupled to a precision reflector in the shape of a truncated ellipsoid. The size and shape of each reflector is optimized by a Monte Carlo ray tracing analysis to achieve multiple design objectives, including high transfer efficiency of radiation from the lamps to the common focal plane and desired flux distribution. Based on the numerical results, the final optimized design will deliver 7.5 kW over a 6-cm diameter circular disc located in the focal plane, with a peak flux approaching 3.7 MW/m2.

The fabrication and testing of a solar simulator for indoor testing of solar collector are described. Consisting of Philips 500 W halogen lamps with built-in reflector, which are arranged at 30 cm apart, the system covers a test area suitable for a solar collector of size 120 cm by 53 cm. The height of the lamps above the solar collector under test is set to 160 cm. Measurement of the uniformity of the irradiance over the test area has been made. Four sets of irradiance mapping were performed at 466, 580, 686, and 804 W/m2, yielding at each point the irradiance uniformity percentage of 8.9, 7.6, 6.9, and 7.8%, respectively. The infrared radiation produced by the lamps was filtered by air flowing over the test area.

For the development of concentrator photovoltaic (CPV) module realizing high efficiency, it is necessary to achieve the high efficiency optical system including Fresnel lens and homogenizer. For the improvement of optical systems, it is very important to understand the contribution of the light irradiated to a localized position on the Fresnel lens. The light beam induced current (LBIC) system was constructed to evaluate the focusing characteristic of the CPV module. We locally irradiated a light from solar simulator to the CPV mini-module and measured the generation current, and the localized characteristics were represented by two-dimensional mappings. Moreover, we evaluated the influence of tracking error by changing the irradiation angle. In the case of tracking errors, the peak of generated current was shifted and the current was decreased. In the case of tracking error of 1.0 o, the total generated current was reduced 12%, in comparison with the normal irradiance.
