Performance Evaluation of Vertically Oriented Compound Parabolic Concentrating Solar Collector Integrated with Heliostat Field

Although there are number of studies to investigate the performance of various CPC design but performance of vertically oriented CPC collectors is not evaluated. The lack of research on the operation of vertical CPC collectors integrated with the heliostat field is another motivation for this resear...
