Abstract

Concentrated Solar Power, or CSP, is a system that concentrates and converts sunlight into thermal energy by tracking the sun. University of Miyazaki set up a beam-down solar concentrator, one of CSPs, on August 2012. Gardon gauge is a heat flux sensor which is generally used for measuring the heat flux on the light condensing part of CSP. Gardon gauge needs a water-cooling system, and it is impossible to measure heat flux on the sunlight condensing part where equipment is running. In this study, the thin-film heat flux sensor which can measure the heat flux by non-cooling during the equipment operation was developed. Furthermore the calibration system for the heat flux sensor was developed, and the advantages of the sensor were confirmed.
