U-type solar reflective thermal power generation
Trough systems use large, U-shaped (parabolic) reflectors (focusing mirrors) that have oil-filled pipes running along their center, or focal point, as shown in Figure 1. The mirrored reflectors are tilted toward the sun, and focus sunlight on the pipes to heat the oil. . Solar thermal-electric power systems collect and concentrate sunlight to produce the high temperatures needed to generate electricity. The mirrors focus sunlight onto receivers (tubes) that run the length of the mirrors. CSP technology utilizes focused sunlight. CSP plants generate electric power by using mirrors to. .
