Parabolic trough technology has a success story spanning more than 40 years. As early as 1984, the first commercial power plants with parabolic trough collectors went into operation in California. In ...

After more than a decade of hibernation, parabolic trough concentrated solar power (CSP) has emerged from its slumber with a mighty roar. Large new parabolic trough CSP power plants have recently ...

The study of controllability for parabolic and heat equations focuses on the capability to steer the temporal evolution of diffusion-dominated processes towards desired states. Central to this field ...
