Study the Maximum Solar Radiation by Determining the Best Direction of the Solar Collectors

Detailed information about the optimality of the direction for using the parabolic troughs solar collector for a particular installation site is important in the design and economic evaluation of solar power plants. This study developed simple relationships to predict the choice of solar power collector equipment in the city of Baghdad. The North-South tracking axis in the city of Baghdad represents the best performance for electricity generation over a longer period of the year. Such a constructive scheme of the parabolic troughs solar collector allows to tracking the trajectory of movement of the sun from east to west. Liquid heat transfer fluid circulates in pipes of a solar power plant is synthetic thermal oil
