Energy production analysis and applications of parabolic through collector and solar power tower

Today, it is widely used to obtain electricity from fossil energy sources. However as the damage to the environment and the fossil energy resources are gradually diminishing, mankind has been searching for new ways. As a result, different methods and techniques have been started to be developed as renewable energy sources. Research has resulted in the idea of generating electricity from renewable energy sources and environmentally friendly solar energy. In addition to photovoltaic batteries, different methods have emerged for this. The use of parabolic gutter solar collectors and solar receivers with central receivers from these methods is increasing and developing in the world. It is expected that this technology will be used and widespread in Turkey in the coming years. For this reason, in this thesis study, parabolic gutter solar collectors used for obtaining electricity from solar energy and solar receivers with central receivers are analyzed separately and applications of these systems as a hybrid and as a single system for Bilecik region are carried out. In case of hybrid operation of systems, energy production is given as a comparative comparison.
