= = (d) A parabolic trough collector power station A parabolic trough collector power station has the following characteristics: heat transfer fluid temperature = 400 °C, condenser temperature = 30°C, solar concentration ratio = 80, emissivity (ε) = 0.2 (thermal), absorptivity (A) = 0.9 (optical). Draw a labelled diagram to illustrate the power balance around the solar collector and calculate the maximum efficiency of the power station under AM1.5. (5 marks)
