Conclusions
• Develop a validated sophisticated model of solar trough system to
consider the effect of different parameters on the system
performance.
• Utilize the numerical model to study the effects of cold weather
conditions on the system performance.
• Apply the numerical model results to implement a more practical
economic analysis.
