Analysis of Electric Performance and Optimization of Trough Concentrating Solar Thermoelectric Cogeneration System

Abstract:

This study introduced the basic situation of the parabolic trough concentrating solar cogeneration system, and set a one-dimensional steady-state mathematical heat transfer model based on the experimental devices, at the same time clarified influencing factors of the major heat transfer process and thermal performance of the system. The article did perspectives theoretical analysis and simulation for the system in different aspects, through using of solar trough concentrator reflecting device, established thermal performance experiments that water as the working fluid flow, provided theoretical and experimental basis for the thermal performance optimization of the system.
