Technical forms of solar thermal power generation

In linear Fresnel reflector (LFR), the incident direct solar radiation is concentrated by a series of linear Fresnel mirrors onto a downward facing receiver placed over the collectors, as shown in Fig. 3.6. The primary Fresnel reflector field is made of flat or curved parallel mirror stripes. The receiver in LFR consists of an. . In parabolic trough collector (PTC), a parabolic shaped concentrator is installed on a strong metallic structure that concentrates the sun’s rays on the receiver placed on the focal axis of the parabola. The receiver. . In central receiver systems and also called as power tower systems, an array of dual-axis tracking-based reflectors (heliostats) placed on the ground focus sun rays at the receiver mounted on the. . In parabolic dish collector (PDC), a paraboloid shaped reflector is used to focus the incident radiation on to the receiver placed at the focal point of the paraboloid dish. The absorbed concentrated radiation by. [pdf]
