Multiobjective design optimization of parabolic trough collectors
AbstractDespite the large amount of research conducted on PTC performance analysis, few and rare numbers of research have considered the design optimization of PTCs. In the present work, a novel multiobjective-optimization model is developed for design optimization of PTCs. The objective functions are the thermal and exergetic efficiencies because they

Direct Steam Generation in Parabolic Trough Collectors
Existing commercial parabolic trough power plants use thermal oil as a heat transfer fluid, with working temperatures in the region of 400ºC. In order to achieve more efficient generating systems, a second generation of parabolic troughs that operate at temperatures higher than 400ºC is being developed.
