Under the support of international cooperation projects of Ministry of Science and Technology, a research team, led by Institute of Electrical Engineering,Chinese Academy of Sciences, has developed a trough concentrator with an aperture of 6.7m, a concentration ratio of 90 or more, which is a major breakthrough in trough technology.
The concentrator is installed in the headquarters of Guangdong Fivestar Solar Energy Co., Ltd. It could help improve the efficiency of solar trough collector and the temperature of working fluid.
