Abstract:Parabolic trough technology is currently one of the most extended solar thermal systems for the production of electricity.
This paper describes a thermo-economic study of an integrated, combined-cycle parabolic trough power plant. The parabolic trough plant is considered an economizer or a superheater of the HRSG (heat recovery steam generator). The main objective is to obtain the optimum design of the different sections of the boiler and the size of the parabolic field. The configurations analy… Show more
