Abstract:
In the present era the environment conscious country and people are interested to use renewable
energy rather than using fossil fuel. Sun is the best source of renewable energy. We can collect
solar energy almost everywhere and is free to harness. To produce electricity from solar radiation
concentrating solar collector is the most efficient and environment helpful. Parabolic trough
collector performance were analyzed using MATLAB. Modified the receiver pipe using geometry
and the loss was analyzed and compared with the previous receiver. The results were analyzed by
simulating the equations and calculating the efficiencies of different model of absorber pipe and
showing them in graph. The goal of research is to increase the efficiency of the concentrating
collector by simulating equations with MATLAB and compare the theoretical results with the
results of the researchers was compatible.
