SOLAR PARABOLIC TROUGH 1.0 System Description Parabolic trough technology is currently the most proven solar thermal electric technology. This is primarily due to nine large commercial-scale solar power plants, the first of which has been operating in the California Mojave Desert since 1984. These plants, which continue to operate on a daily basis, range in size from 14 to 80 MW and represent a total of 354 MW of installed electric generating capacity. Large fields of parabolic trough collectors

technologies and because its supply is not restricted if the energy generated is transported from the world's solar belt to the population centres. T dish/engine technology, which can directly generate electricity in isolated locations parabolic and Fresnel trough technology, which produces high pressure superheated steam solar tower technology, which produces air above 1000°C or synthesis gas for gas turbine operation. ● ● While these technologies have reached a certain maturity, as has

means, using steam cycles. Several types of technologies can be used to generate solar thermal energy. Different designs are used as described below; Parabolic trough designs This design uses a curved mirrored trough that reflects the solar radiation directly to a glass tube containing the fluid which runs along the length of the trough. The trough is made to tilt in an east to west direction in order to maintain direct focus of the radiation on the pipe. To reduce convective heat loss, the receiver

Power Tower in an Open Pit Mine: called a “Pit Power Tower” (PPT). | | By Jonathan Gwiazda and Francis A. DiBella | 1. Introduction1.2 Problem Statement The number of people and the amount of technology in the world are on the rise. People and technology both require energy. This rise in population and technology has led to a corresponding increase in energy demand. This trend is unlikely to change in the foreseeable future.The three primary methods of power production today are 1) fossil
