Design and thermal performances of Semi-Parabolic Linear Fresnel Reflector solar concentration collector

A Semi-Parabolic Linear Fresnel Reflector (SPLFR) solar concentrator is proposed in this paper. The SPLFR is formed by linear plate mirrors whose edges located at a parabolic line. The ray trace simulation results show the SPLFR has the same concentrating efficiency as that of the parabolic trough c...
