The SkyTrough™ Parabolic Trough Solar Collector
ASME 2009 3rd International Conference on Energy Sustainability, Volume 2, 2009The SkyTrough™ is a new high-efficiency parabolic trough solar collector that has been designed with features to reduce capital cost, shorten installation time, and reduce O&M cost. This collector builds on the excellent success of prior generation utility-scale parabolic trough designs, but incorporates several engineering and material innovations,

Optical Modeling of Parabolic Trough Solar Collector
2020In this article, the flux distribution of parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC) is performed by considering limb darkening effect in the incoming solar radiation. Inhouse model is developed using the MATLAB tool for the analysis. The effort is also made to reduce the computation time of CPU by converting the complete PTSC problem into two-dimensional

Dynamic Performance of Parabolic Trough Solar Collector
2008A model is set up to study the dynamic performance of the parabolic trough solar collector (PTC). Instantaneous beam solar radiation, incidence angle of solar beam to collector aperture, tracking angle of collector aperture and distribution of concentrated solar radiation along focal axis can be calculated. The results show that the energy gain and the
