The future scope of work seeks to benefit researchers employing experimental methods for the testing of the parabolic trough solar collectors for validating their results with the numerical and simulation techniques and widening the applications of parabolic trough collectors for newer applications. 1. EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES ON PARABOLIC SOLAR
The solar parabolic trough collectors have different tests to evaluate the various components such as concentrator, receiver, tracking system, and thermal storage systems.
The optical analysis is one of the most important parameters to investigate the performance of the parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC). The output of the optical analysis is used as an input for the thermal analysis. The journey of the flux distribution studies started back in 1950 for the PTSC with a flat receiver.
Simulation software programs of mathematical models and techniques are very useful during the analysis of physical systems especially in our investigation for solar parabolic trough collectors systems. Different kinds of software models and test methods of solar collectors have been developed since 1981.
Experimental setup of PARASCAN-II prototype . Monte Carlo ray tracing (MCRT) techniques have been used by numerous researchers to study the flux distribution on the receiver of parabolic trough solar collector. The use of MCRT for flux distribution has been started in the late 1970s, but mainly for the central tower receiver.
Likewise, the review has allowed to analysis several measures consecutively applied to achieve the best output on the electricity system of the PTC growth. The main objective of the current research is to review solar trough collector systems and study the effects of different components on the design performance.
