Current and Future Economics of Parabolic Trough Technology
ASME 2007 Energy Sustainability Conference, 2007Solar energy is the largest energy resource on the planet. Unfortunately, it is largely untapped at present, in part because sunlight is a very diffuse energy source. Concentrating solar power (CSP) systems use low cost reflectors to concentrate the sun’s energy to allow it to be used more effectively.

Economic Analysis of Solar Trough, Tower and Dish Power Plants
Advanced Materials Research, 2013Solar thermal power system can be classified to three typical kinds, parabolic trough, tower and dish system. Trough and tower systems have been commercial operated in last few years. Solar dish power plant is also in demonstrational phase. But how to choose a fit technology road is also a different challenge.
