Abstract :
Incremental improvements in existing energy networks will not be adequate to supply the world energy demand. To cure this problem, it is necessary to invest in the field of renewable energy and specially the solar energy. Recently medium-high temperature application is an important topic in the solar energy field. The purpose of this work is to improve the performance of mobile parabolic dish was developed and realized in Research and Technology Centre of Energy in Borj Cedria Tunisia (CRTEn). In this order an optical and experimental study is carried out and a description of photogrammetry has been done which used to determine geometric error of the system. Intercept factor, slope error, displacement error and SPC optical efficiency has been determined.
