Development of a concrete parabolic trough collector [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2019 Current parabolic trough collector development mainly aims at cost reduction. Within the project ConSol the goal was to reduce material and production costs by using high-performance concrete for the parabola shell itself and also for part of the tracking system.
