Tower CSP (NOOR III) is seen here in the foreground while behind it, rows of parabolic troughs – the two Trough CSP plants (NOOR I and II) – can be seen further back. In solar thermal energy, all concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies use solar thermal energy from sunlight to make power.
A trough solar collector field comprises multiple parabolic trough-shaped mirrors in parallel rows aligned to enable these single-axis trough-shaped mirrors to track the sun from east to west during the day to ensure that the sun is continuously focused on the receiver pipes. Trough deployment database.
The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) maintains the global Tower deployment database. In a parabolic trough CSP system, the sun’s energy is concentrated by parabolically curved, trough-shaped reflectors onto a receiver pipe – the heat absorber tube – running along about a meter above the curved surface of the mirrors.
