Technische und wirtschaftliche Analyse von horizontalen Fresnel-Kollektoren

Fresnel-collectors are linefocusing concentrating solar collectors for the production of process steam at temperatures up to 450°C, which can be used in solar thermal powerplants or for any industrial application. This thesis shows a systematical aproach to evaluate different design-possibilities in respect of achieving lowest levelized electricity costs by combining optical simulations of collector design, annual yield calculations with different power block designs and a cost model.
