Parabolic-Trough Technology Roadmap: A Pathway for Sustained Commercial Development and Deployment of Parabolic-Trough Technology [PDF]
, 1999 Technology roadmapping is a needs-driven technology planning process to help identify, select, and develop technology alternatives to satisfy a set of market needs. The DOE's Office of Power Technologies' Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) Program recently sponsored a technology roadmapping workshop for parabolic trough technology.

Parabolic Trough Solar Technology [PDF]
, 2012 Parabolic trough (solar) collectors (PTCs) are technical devices to collect the energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it typically into thermal energy at temperature ranges of 150-500°C at industrial scale. The cylindrical trough shape of the reflecting surface with parabolic section of the mirror shape has the ability to concentrate the ...
