The performance of solar parabolic dish collectors is significantly influenced by heat losses due to wind speed and direction. This challenge is especially relevant for many of the CSP plants that are located in deserts and other regions that experience high wind speeds.
Well thought-out aerodynamic designs for parabolic dishes could have a positive impact on the plants to withstand wind loads, thus enhancing efficiency.
