Optimization of parabolic trough solar collectors

Solar Energy, 1982
Abstract The results of a detailed optical analysis of parabolic trough solar collectors are summarized by a few universal graphs and curve fits. These graphs enable the designer of parabolic trough collectors to calculate the performance and optimize the design with a simple hand calculator.

Parabolic troughs: CSP's quiet achiever

Renewable Energy Focus, 2008
WITH AN ESTABLISHED COMMERCIAL TRACK RECORD OF MORE THAN 20 YEARS OPERATING UNDER REAL WORLD CONDITIONS, THE PARABOLIC TROUGH NOW HOLDS POLE POSITION IN THE HORSERACE AMONG CONCENTRATING SOLAR POWER (CSP) TECHNOLOGIES. BUT WILL BEING FIRST OFF THE MARK TURN OUT TO BE GOOD ENOUGH?

Profile control on solar parabolic troughs

2014 Fotonica AEIT Italian Conference on Photonics Technologies, 2014
Linear parabolic collectors usually need profilometric control since the reflector surface can be imperfectly manufactured. Optical profile assessment is generally addressed to detect small localised defects. The paper proposes two optical devices that were developed simulating profile measurements on linear parabolic mirrors.

The SkyTrakker™ Parabolic Trough Control System

ASME 2009 3rd International Conference on Energy Sustainability, Volume 2, 2009
The SkyTrakker™ is a highly accurate and highly efficient parabolic trough control system. The system includes the microprocessor control board, separate motor controller, and sensors (temperature, position, hydraulic pressure). The SkyTrakker™ has several distinct advantages and design features that provide better manufacturability, shorten ...

Design of solar parabolic trough collector

2017 International Conference on Advances in Mechanical, Industrial, Automation and Management Systems (AMIAMS), 2017
In this paper, the design stages of a solar parabolic trough collector is presented. The design of prototype was done using Creo parametric 2.0 software. The design parameters are decided on the basis of analysis and its effects due to variations in the parameters. This design process will be useful in fabrication of solar parabolic trough collector.
