Abstract

In this work we propose a procedure to divide a regular off-axis conic surface, which defines the parent surface represented by a parametric equation, in order to describe the optical surface for an off-axis Fresnel-type reflector, in such a way that this mathematical representation allows us to implement an exact ray trace considering a plane wavefront incident on the surface. Additionally, we can simulate the performance of a preliminary prototype proposed for designing a solar collector.
