Sensitivity analysis of the efficiency of a parabolic-trough solar collector
The text presented below analyses the variation of the performance of a parabolic trough solar collector, when some of the parameters that govern its operation vary due to dirty mirror, degradation etc. In order to reach that point, it will be seen how the human has made use of solar energy with dif...

| Sumario: | The text presented below analyses the variation of the performance of a parabolic trough solar collector, when some of the parameters that govern its operation vary due to dirty mirror, degradation etc. In order to reach that point, it will be seen how the human has made use of solar energy with different purposes, through history until it has been reached the point where solar technology has the widespread use and in such a variety of technologies as it has today. As in this project, the technology analysed is the solar collectors, it is going to make more emphasis on solar thermal technology. They will be explained in detail how the parabolic trough collectors are, analysing from its different components, to its thermal performance. Once acquainted with this technology, it will be seen which tests will be carried out. Finally it is going to be explained how the model, used for the simulation and implementation of the relevant tests, has been developed. It will also be explained how the model has been validated, for once validated, proceed to the sensitivity analysis of the collectors. |
