After more than a decade of hibernation, parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) has emerged from its slumber with a mighty roar. Large new parabolic trough CSP power plants have recently ...
Solar rays focused on concentrator photovoltaic cells using parabolic mirrors not only supply electricity, but also thermal energy for industrial processes, heating or cooling. Three technological ...
A mirror alignment measurement device may soon make one of the most popular solar collector systems, parabolic troughs, more affordable and energy efficient. A mirror alignment measurement device, ...
Parabolic trough technology has a success story spanning more than 40 years. As early as 1984, the first commercial power plants with parabolic trough collectors went into operation in California. In ...
Two identical 50-MW parabolic trough plants with thermal storage in Cadiz, in the south of Spain, began operating this January. The Valle 1 and Valle 2 projects (Figure 7) built by Torresol Energy—a ...
SAN JOSE, Calif. — APS, Solargenix Inc. and Schott North America Inc. on Saturday (April 22) will commemorate the completion of the first solar thermal parabolic trough power plant in Arizona.
Solar thermal power plants – whether parabolic trough or solar tower – are mostly constructed in desert areas with plenty of sun. In such places, soiling from sand and dust causes high uncertainties ...
March 26, 2004 — APS has broken ground on Arizona’s first commercial solar trough power plant, the first such facility constructed in the United States since 1988. Located at the company’s Saguaro ...
Researchers at Sandia National Laboratories have invented a new way to make solar collector systems more energy efficient. The theoretical overlay photographic (TOP) technology developed at Sandia ...
