The development of technologies for the benefit of solar energy has been outstanding in recent years due to its enormous potential use for generating electricity. Among these technologies highlights the Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) that concentrate the solar radiation to a specific point. Because of the concentrators are subject to seasonal variation of solar irradiation is of great importance the development of mathematical models to calculate this energy. This work, more precisely, proposes a technique for calculating the amount of solar energy that optimizes the operating time of the solar concentrator, particularly Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR). The technique consists in establishing an algorithm to Direct Normal Irradiance calculation purposes taking into account the thermal analysis of the energy losses associated with the operation of this type of system. The model is applied to the climatic conditions of the city of Natal/Brazil, but can also be used for other parts of the world.
