After more than a decade of hibernation, parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) has emerged from its slumber with a mighty roar. Large new parabolic trough CSP power plants have recently ...

Solar rays focused on concentrator photovoltaic cells using parabolic mirrors not only supply electricity, but also thermal energy for industrial processes, heating or cooling. Three technological ...

Part three of this three-part series on justifying improved control via economics shows how simulation can quantify reduced ...

Spectral-splitting CPV-T collector design. (a) Cross-sectional view; (b) 3-D view. (The PV cells are on the two sloped, flat sides of the central primary PV-T channel.) Conventional ...
