TL;DR: In this paper, the Compact Linear Fresnel Reflector (CLFR) concept was evaluated for large scale solar thermal electricity generation plants and different versions of the basic CLFR concept that are evaluated include absorber orientation, absorber structure, the use of secondary reflectors adjacent to the absorbers, reflector field configurations, mirror packing densities, and receiver heights.

TL;DR: In this article, the efficiency of parabolic trough collectors is determined for operation with synthetic oil (current SEGS plants) and water (future proposal) as the working fluids, and an efficiency equation is developed and used in a simulation model to evaluate the performance of direct steam generation collectors for different radiation conditions and different absorber tube sizes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of a water-in-glass evacuated tube solar pre-heater is investigated using the International Standard test method ISO 9459-2 for a range of locations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of water-in-glass evacuated tube solar collector systems were compared with flat plate solar collectors in a range of locations, and the performance was found to be lower than a typical 2 panel flat plate array for domestic water heating in Sydney.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design of a building integrated photovoltaic/thermal (BIPVT) solar collector was theoretically analyzed through the use of a modified Hottel-Whillier model and was validated with experimental data from testing on a prototype BIPVT collector.
