The RXI secondary is designed with the Simultaneous Multiple Surface (SMS) design method of Nonimaging Optics. In the secondary optics rays undergo refraction (R), reflection (X) and total internal reflection (I), so SMS nomenclature [2] for the device is RXI assigning letters to each surface that deflects rays. This is the first time the RXI-type geometry has been applied to design a photovoltaic secondary element. The LPI patented Fresnel- RXI Köhler concentrator [1] produces both the desired light concentration with high tolerance (high acceptance angle) as well as high irradiance uniformity on the solar cell achieved by Köhler integration method. The optical performance of the FRXI device (F denotes a Fresnel lens surface) will be presented as well as comparison with other conventional Fresnel-based CPV concentrators and application of the designed system date: 2010 date_type: published publisher: European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition (EU PVSEC) full_text_status: public pres_type: paper place_of_pub: Munich, Alemania event_title: 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion event_location: Valencia, Spain event_dates: 06/09/2010 - 10/09/2010 event_type: conference institution: Telecomunicacion department: Electronica2 refereed: TRUE isbn: 3-936338-26-4 book_title: Proceedings of the 25th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference and Exhibition / 5th World Conference on Photovoltaic Energy Conversion rights: by-nc-nd citation: Buljan, Marina, Benítez Giménez, Pablo ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5559-4593 , Miñano Dominguez, Juan Carlos ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2281-0728 and Mohedano del Pozo, Raúl (2010).
