One of the most mature and internationally known technologies is the parabolic trough solar collector (PTSC), which has several applications, such as electricity generation, desalination, steam generation, and refrigeration systems, among others.
Therefore, for the purpose of optimizing the tracking mode of the parabolic trough concentrating collectors, the current work applied Hottel’s clear-day radiation model with an aim to study the amount of direct solar radiation received by the parabolic mirror within a year under different tracking modes in Shanghai.
Depending on the number of tracking axes, the tracking modes of parabolic trough concentrating collectors can be classified as dual-axis and single-axis solar tracking modes.
Mao studied the single-axis parabolic trough collectors [11, 12] and found the thermal output of the north-south tracking mode to be significantly higher than the east-west tracking mode in summer and the other way around in winter.
Parabolic trough concentrating collectors can only collect direct sunlight. When concentrating light, it needs an appropriate tracking mode to realize the maximum working efficiency.
The solar tracking system is one of the active types with two axes containing photoresistive sensors, which are used to determine the solar position and electric actuators to correct the positioning of the gutter.
