Parabolic trough is the linear-focus collector, which consists of a cylindrically curved parabolic mirror, which reflects the sunlight onto a tubular receiver positioned in the focus line of the parabola.
How CSP Works: Tower, Trough, Fresnel or Dish
Thermal Energy StorageBasic Summary of The Four CSP TechnologiesTower SystemsLinear Fresnel SystemsParabolic Dish SystemsThere are four types of CSP technologies: The earliest in use was trough, and the predominant technology now is tower. This is because tower CSP can attain higher temperatures, resulting in greater efficiency.See more on solarpaces
