Title: Systematic rotation and receiver-location error effects on parabolic-trough annual performance

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6509183· OSTI ID:6509183
;

The effects of certain systematic errors on performance and, therefore, their influence on the design of troughs are studied. The technique for calculating the influence of systematic errors on performance is outlined and methods for identifying and minimizing these errors are suggested.
