Optimization of parabolic trough solar collector system

International Journal of Energy Research, 2006
Process heat produced by solar collectors can contribute significantly in the conservation of conventional energy resources, reducing CO2 emission, and delaying global warming. One of the major problems associated with solar process heat application is fluctuation in system temperature during unsteady state radiation conditions which may cause ...

Parabolic Trough Solar Collector – Design, Construction and Testing

Baghdad Science Journal, 2011
This paper presents the design, construction and investigates an experimental study of a parabolic Trough Solar Collector (PTSC). It is constructed of multi – piece glass mirror to form the parabolic reflector (1.8 m ? 2.8 m) its form were checked with help of a laser and carbon steel rectangular as receiver. Sun tracker has been developed (using two –

A novel concentrating solar plant configuration with multiple solar fields and thermal energy storage to reduce energy production costs

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering
We propose and evaluate the use of a two-tank direct thermal energy storage system with a multi-field concentrating solar power plant. The plant includes parabolic trough collector and linear Fresnel reflector solar fields to generate electricity using a

Optical simulation of a parabolic solar trough collector

International Journal of Sustainable Energy, 2010
The optical simulation of a linear parabolic solar collector with a tubular receiver is presented. The simulation considers a general model of a trough collector with a pipe receiver, with or without a glass covering, and with a realistic solar irradiation from an arbitrary direction. Optical properties can depend on the wavelength.
