An optimized approach for solar concentrating parabolic dish based on particle swarm optimization-genetic algorithm

Parabolic dish concentrators have demonstrated the highest thermal and optical efficiencies among the available concentrator options. This paper proposes a novel design approach for fabricating large parabolic dish concentrators by employing compliant petals optimized through Particle Swarm Optimiza...
