26 Solar Power Photovoltaic Solar thermal
27 Solar constant 1,365 W/m 2 (NASA estimate)
28 Seasonal variations of diffuse irradiance versus beam irradiance
29 Available solar radiation X-axis = clearness index = amount of total radiation received at surface relative to incoming solar radiation. Y-axis = diffuse radiation relative to daily total radiation which is a measure of cloudiness
30 Available solar radiation as a function of latitude and type of radiation.
31 Flat plate collectors q = βi U(T c T a ) q = net unit heat flux collected in storage system β = fraction of incoming radiation absorbed by collector plate I = incoming solar radiance U = overall heat transfer coefficient T c = temperature collector T a = temperature environment Schematic of a flat plate solar collector. The solar radiation is absorbed by the black plate and transfers heat to the fluid in the tubes. The thermal insulation prevents heat loss during fluid transfer; the screens reduce the heat loss due to convection and radiation to the atmosphere. (T c ) max = T a + βi/u η = q/i = β [U(T c T a )]/I η = collector efficiency Typical values for β (0.8) and U (5 W/m 2 K)
32 Focusing Collectors Types of concentrating sunlight collectors: (a) tubular absorbers with diffuse back reflector, (b) tubular absorbers with specular cusp reflectors, (c) plane receiver with plain reflectors, (d) parabolic concentrator, (e) array reflectors (heliostats) with central receiver. Concentration of light on the receiver is achieved by shaping the reflectors (mirrors) around the receiver.
33 D m /D i = D m /αf = 107.5(D m /F) D m = mirror dimension D i = image dimension α = 9.3E-3 radian = angle that the sun subtends when viewed from the Earth F = focal length Solar thermal farms Spherical mirror: CR = 1.154E4(D m /F) 2 Cylindrical mirror: Cr = E2(D m /F) CR = concentration ratio (T c ) max = T a + [βi(cr)]/u η = q/i = β [U(T c T a )]/[I(CR)]

61 Comparing Different Electricity-Generating Technologies Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) represents the per-kilowatt hour cost (in real dollars) of building and operating a generating plant over an assumed financial life and duty cycle. Key inputs to calculating LCOE include capital costs, fuel costs, fixed and variable operations and maintenance (O&M) costs, financing costs, and an assumed utilization rate for each plant type. The importance of the factors varies among the technologies. For technologies such as solar and wind generation that have no fuel costs and relatively small variable O&M costs, LCOE changes in rough proportion to the estimated capital cost of generation capacity. For technologies with significant fuel cost, both fuel cost and overnight cost estimates significantly affect LCOE. The availability of various incentives, including state or federal tax credits, can also impact the calculation of LCOE. As with any projection, there is uncertainty about all of these factors and their values can vary regionally and across time as technologies evolve and fuel prices change.

Lots of great information.
