Performance Simulation and Optimization of Cylindrical Mirror-Spliced Parabolic Trough Solar Collector

This paper proposes a new type of solar trough collector with a spliced cylindrical mirror and develops a new ray-tracing method to predict and optimize its performance. The mirrors of this system are composed of multiple cylindrical mirrors whose centers are on a parabola, and the normal vector of...
