- Additional information
- For the first time, this paper demonstrated that it is feasible to simultaneously estimate the optical and thermal performance of linear Fresnel collectors in a single, computationally efficient simulation environment resulting in significant cost savings. As a result of this work, Ardekani was approached by the Head of Research and Development, SOLASTOR, Australia (Saeid Seddegh, saeid.seddegh@solastor.com.au) to support the commercial implementation of the approach for the design of novel solar receiver designs.
