  • Automatic System for Adjusting the Parabolic Surface of a Flat Mirror Solar Concentrator
    Publication number: 20150300694
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the automatic adjustment of the height of the support elements of a structure of a solar concentrator, in order to achieve the approximation of a parabolic surface for mounting triangular mirrors. These adjustments are made by an automatic arm with a control unit based on computer vision, wherein the system displays the adjustment embodiment with a magnetic or pneumatic head that uses a control unit whose operation is based on stereo vision images with signals from one or more digital cameras.

  • Support Device for Solar Concentrator with Flat Mirrors
    Publication number: 20150096553
    Abstract: The invention relates to a hexagonal parabolic solar concentrator consisting of the union of different radial layers of support cells formed by two types of pre-assembled modules, wherein said pre-assembled modules are made up of bars and connecting elements. Using these pre-assembled modules significantly reduces the time for manufacture of the components and for parabolic concentrator assembling and the adjustment time for the flat mirrors supporting cells in order to generate the curve of parabola.

  • Method and device for mirrors position adjustment of a solar concentrator
    Patent number: 8631995
    Abstract: The present invention consists of developing a technology with different processes to realize an optimal solar approach using a solar concentrator where distance screws are used that, when moving, allow the positioning of the mirrors whereby the reflected solar beam is directed to a focal point; the advantage of these processes is that each movement of the screws involves adjusting the position of all the neighboring mirrors, which allow a perfect alignment and adjustment of the mirrors.
