Workbench for a Parabolic Trough Solar Collector with a Tracking System. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2022 Solar energy found abundantly in nature is considered a renewable energy source. It is also of great interest as an option for energy generation and CO2 emissions reduction. Several technologies of solar concentrating systems, known internationally as CSP (concentrated solar power), are found in the industrial and scientific environment.
