Solar Energy in Concentrating Collectors: A Study

Prasanna Mishra*, Ravinder Pal Singh, Manoj Gupta and Monika Deshwal

Sunlight based energy assumes a fundamental part in the climate. This sustainable power assists with giving energy arrangements. There are various types of collectors dependent on stationary collectors and concentrating collectors. Basically collectors are used to gather the fuel source from the sun. Solar collector change solar energy into heat, which is then transferred to a fluid media. Sun produces heat energy which is collected by the different collectors for different purposes. This presents a study of solar energy in concentrating collectors. This paper discussed the various concentrating collectors such as heliostat field collectors, parabolic trough collectors, parabolic dish reflector, as well as linear Fresnel reflector. The concentrating collector helps to use the lenses and mirrors to concentrate the heat energy optically, before transferring it into heat. In future this examination assists with finding out about the concentrating gatherers and empowers the concentrating sun based force plants to deliver the power 24 hours in a day.
