Abstract
The paper gives theoretical analysis of the performance of cylinderical parabolic solar concentrator. Particular attention is given to the application of this type concentrator in the intermediate temperature rang ( >100 0C ) where wide receivers are used. Suitable indicines that describe the performance of the concentrator are defined and evaluated. The effect of individual parameter on total concentrator performance is investigated in order to put this analysis to a universal use the non – dimensional approach of mathematical formulation is used. The results of the analysis are presented in a set of graphs which can be used easily for solar concentrator design.
