Handbook for the conceptual design of parabolic trough solar energy systems process heat applications
This report presents the techniques needed to execute conceptual designs of process heat systems employing parabolic trough solar collectors. The design tools are presented in graphical format, and each of 26 SOLMET sites is explicitly represented. The conceptual design resultant from the application of the design charts contained within this handbook approximates the collector area needed to displace a constant thermal demand, the land area needed for collector deployment, the appropriate quantity of sensible heat storage, the fraction of fossil fuel displaced by solar, and the capital cost of the collector-storage subsystem.
