Abstract
While a deep trough leads to higher forces than a shallow trough, when facing the wind, due to increased curvature, the wind speed around the receiver is significantly lower with a lower focal length, which can minimise the heat loss in the receiver tube leading to overall higher efficiencies due to higher possible temperatures in the solar field.
