Solar energy, coupled with innovative technologies, holds the promise of propelling
buildings towards net-zero and carbon neutrality. In this regard, this review explores the …

Concentrating and non-concentrating hybrid solar collectors have drawn increasing interest
thanks to their multiple advantages compared to the conventional counterparts, including the …

The Parabolic trough collector (PTC) system combined with molten salt energy storage
system has gathered increasing attention owing to its advantages of high operating …

Wind–solar towers are a relatively new method of capturing renewable energy from solar
and wind power. Solar radiation is collected and heated air is forced to move through the …

The present work reveals a solar thermal collector's (STC) novel design and its use for
intermediate-temperature solar cooking. The main aim of the work is to demonstrate the …

This study presents a combined thermal and optical, three-dimensional analysis of an
asymmetric compound parabolic collector (ACPC) with an integrated hybrid …

For high-pressure applications, like direct steam generation or hydrothermal liquefaction,
homogenizing the radiative flux on the tubular receiver of the parabolic trough concentrators …

In this paper, discussions have been made about parabolic trough collectors, their various
components and modifications implemented in those systems. It has been seen in this study …

This study presents a numerical investigation of a solar Parabolic Trough Concentrator
(PTC) with various Linear Cavity Receivers (LCRs). A linear trapezoidal cavity receiver was …

Parabolic trough concentrators with a tubular receiver (PTCs) are widely used for the
production of solar thermal power. However, the geometric concentration ratio (CR) of PTCs …
