dc.description.abstractThe geographic location of Turkey offers significant potential for renewable energies, especially solar energy. One promising technology for solar energy generation is the parabolic trough collector. To shed light on the advantages of solar energy and the design of solar power plants, this study aims to estimate the heat gain and thermal efficiency of a parabolic trough collector (PTC) under the climatic conditions of Izmir location, which is one of the cities in Turkey that is most exposed to solar energy. In this regard, a comprehensive mathematical model for the PTC systems is developed. The conventional iterative solving approaches are highly sensitive to the initial condition of the process (i.e., if they are initiated from an improper location of the search space they can be easily trapped into local minima). Thus, in this work, to provide a robust framework, the proposed mathematical structure is converted to a constrained optimization model that can be solved using a general optimization technique. Hereof, a gradient-free based method, so-called fuzzy reinforced differential evolution with virtual mutant method is employed. Firstly, to validate the performance of this method, it is tested on existing data given by Sandia National Laboratory. Subsequently, it is employed to resolve the model for the Izmir climatic conditions, which serves as the case study of this work. The performance and heat gain value of parabolic trough collectors under considered climatic conditions are reported and discussed in illustrative tables and diagrams.en_US
