“…It was observed that increasing the number of collectors per rows lower the levelized cost of electricity rather than increasing number of rows. Integration of PTC with gas turbine cogeneration system has more economic feasibility 121 . In this work, various economical and technical limitations in implementation of solar thermal plant have been discussed.…”

Among the diverse renewable energy sources available, solar energy harnessing has become very common in most countries. Various collectors were developed, built and checked to work in various temperature ranges. The parabolic trough solar collector is found to be the most common among the other collectors in applications such as the distribution of process heat and the production of steam. The heat collector part known as receiver tube is one of the key practical devices of parabolic trough solar collector. Numerous research studies have centered on receiver tube to raise its thermal potential. The usage of passive techniques such as provision of inserts in the receiver tube and geometrical changes of receiver tube are efficient strategies for increasing thermal performance. Detailed review of the numerical and experimental studies conducted on heat transfer enhancement strategies that rely on the use of inserts with the use of different working fluids in a parabolic trough solar collector's receiver tube is described in this article. Additionally heat transfer enhancement due to geometrical modification of receiver tube is also presented. Further, on the basis of literature survey, a comparison among various strategies is outlined. These studies show that future work in this area, that is, usage of passive techniques in parabolic trough solar collector will offer further growth.

“…The economic comparison indicated that parabolic trough systems could be competitive with flat plate collectors, but few practical projects with parabolic trough collectors for district heating were undertaken in the following decades. On the other hand, it is found that most present research of parabolic trough collectors has been on applications with 500 m 2 -1500 m 2 collectors for industrial processes [16]- [21] or steam and electricity production [24]- [33]. Limited reports with detailed measurements of the in situ annual thermal performance of large-scale solar heating fields with flat plate collector and parabolic trough collectors for district heating networks are available.…”

“…Zhu et al [24] evaluated the solar hybridization behavior in the ISCC system; they concluded that solar hybridization into a CCPP may achieve a greater solar conversion efficiency than that of the Rankine cycle. Mokheimer et al [25] analyzed the technological and economic feasibility of ISCC system in different capacities and regions. Rovira et al [26] investigated a series of ISCC layouts with PTCs and found that the DSG configurations could reduce the HRSG irreversibility, thus had a better performance.…”

The variation performance of integrated solar combined cycle (ISCC) is presented using energy, conventional exergy and advanced exergy analysis methods to provide information about exergy destruction of components and efficiencies of overall plant. Moreover, the theory of dividing the exergy destruction of main components into unavoidable/avoidable and exogenous/endogenous parts allows for further understanding the real potentials for improving. Besides, the exergy destruction rate and exergy efficiency of components as well as overall plant were hourly analyzed within a typical day. Results indicate the exergy destruction rate of overall system drops from 49.79% to 44.65% in summer and decreases from 49.79% to 47.59% in winter. As the solar irradiation intensity rises, the solar field efficiency reaches to 42.16% in winter and 47.5% in summer. The solar-to-electric energy efficiency gets to 13.69% in winter and 15.46% in summer. In addition, with the increase of solar energy input to the ISCC system, the exergy destruction of Brayton cycle components decreases; however, the exergy destruction of Rankine cycle components increases. Furthermore, the exergy destruction of solar field has a large extended from 14.55 MW to 58.03 MW. Moreover, the heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and the steam turbines have the largest exergy destruction rate of 11.26% and 13.63% at 15:00 p.m.
