Survey Cycle of Linear Parabolic Solar Power Plant; Design & Control of Collectors Efficiency

With taking into special consideration the importance of the competition which exists in the world to utilize new energies; and also in agreement with our country from the viewpoint of superficies and duration of solar radiation, it is necessary to use such energy as much as possible. Therefore, in this article, Shiraz linear parabolic solar power plant has been used to survey as a pattern. The most important part in design of such power plants is the design of its collectors which have been comprehensively taken into consideration. In addition, the cycle of this power plant as well as the operation errors have been surveyed.
