What is Optimizing Parabolic Trough Solar Plants about?

This document discusses optimizing the performance of parabolic trough collector concentrated solar thermal power plants with thermal energy storage capabilities. The proposed optimization approach uses a genetic algorithm and fuzzy nonlinear programming to maximize three performance parameters: capacity factor, plant efficiency, and levelized cost of energy. The approach is applied to optimize the design of a 100 MW parabolic trough plant at three locations in Saudi Arabia. The results show the optimized p
