Solar thermal - Parabolic trough designs
1 Trough concentrator|Parabolic trough power plants use a curved, mirrored trough which reflects the direct solar
radiation onto a glass tube containing a fluid (also called a receiver, absorber or collector)
running the length of the trough, positioned at the focal point of the
reflectors

Solar thermal - Parabolic trough designs
1 Full-scale parabolic trough systems consist of many such troughs laid out in parallel over a
large area of land. Since 1985 a solar thermal system using this principle has been
in full operation in California in the United States. It is called the Solar Energy
Generating Systems (SEGS) system. Other CSP designs lack this kind of long experience
and therefore it can currently be said that the parabolic trough design is the most
thoroughly proven CSP technology.

Solar thermal - Parabolic trough designs
1 Hassi R'Mel integrated solar combined cycle power station in
Algeria and Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center both use
parabolic troughs in a combined cycle with natural gas.

Parabolic trough - Design
1 Most mirrors used are parabolic and single-piece. In addition, V-type
parabolic troughs exist which are made from 2 mirrors and placed at
an angle towards each other.[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1978PhDT.......157S V-type parabolic
troughs]

Parabolic trough - Usage by commercial plants
1 Current commercial plants utilizing parabolic troughs are hybrids; fossil
fuels are used during night hours, but the amount of fossil fuel used is limited to a maximum 27% of
electricity production, allowing the plant to qualify as a renewable
energy source

tubes

Copper in renewable energy - Parabolic trough plants
1 In parabolic trough plants, copper is specified in the solar collector field (power cables, signals, earthing, electrical motors); steam cycle (water pumps, condenser fans, cabling to consumption points,
control signal and sensors, motors), electricity generators (alternator,
transformer), and storage systems (circulating pumps, cabling to
consumption points)https://store.theartofservice.com/the-parabolic-trough-toolkit.html

Solar cooker - Parabolic troughs
1 It is possible to use two parabolic troughs, curved in perpendicular
directions, to bring sunlight to a point focus as does a paraboloidal
reflector.The incoming light strikes one of the troughs, which sends it toward a line focus. The second trough intercepts the converging
light and focuses it to a point.
