NREL’s High Flux Solar Furnace
The power generated at NREL’s High-Flux Solar Furnace (HFSF) can be used to expose, test, and evaluate many components—such as receivers, collectors, and reflector materials—used in concentrating solar power systems. The 10-kilowatt HFSF consists of a tracking heliostat and 25 hexagonal mirrors to concentrate solar radiation. The solar furnace can nominally provide flux at 2,500 suns, but, when required, can use specialized secondary optics to generate significantly... Read More
