| Detailed Description
|
|||||
| A project has started for developing engineering and design guidelines for building size building integrated CPC and augmentation reflector concentrators for solar energy systems for global tropical sites. Project development is progressing to design and build a prototype testing facility that combines CPC (compound parabolic concentrator) non-imaging reflector optics, and stabilized earthen and ferrocement building materials for development of community and institutional solar kitchens with design of a prototype in the Pondicherry Auroville, south India area. An engineering study begun at the Pondicherry Engineering College (PEC), Department of Mechanical Engineering, is planned to be complemented with the Auroville expertise of: the earthen building program of UNESCO, and solar reflector experience, adjacent to PEC. This project can be of interest for the sunny equatorial regions for general process solar heat applications. Participants and advisory consultants to this project thus far include: E.V. Rapaka, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, Pondicherry Engineering College, India Satprem Maine, UNESCO architect, Auroville Building Centre, Auroville, India Prof. Bill Beckman, Director of The U.of Wisconsin-Madison Solar Energy Laboratory Prof. Roland Winston, University of California-Merced Prof. Joeseph O’Gallagher, Chicago Joel H.
