Scientific paper

A systematic measurement program is being carried out to assess the effects of circumsolar radiation (the solar aureole) on the performance of solar conversion systems using concentrating collectors. Four instrument systems were constructed and are providing detailed intensity vs. angle profiles of the solar and circumsolar (out to 3 deg from the center of the Sun) as well as other solar measurements. The instruments are briefly described. Results are presented of the average effect of the circumsolar radiation on the solar energy available to an idealized point focusing system. Results are also presented for an analysis of two specfic central receiver designs.
