Solar thermal electric plants - Systems and components. General requirements and test methods for large-size parabolic-trough collectors not-for-sale external loads from the soilWhat is this standard about? This part of IEC 62862 specifies the requirements and the test methods for the characterization of a large size parabolic trough collector. This document covers the determination of optical and thermal performance of parabolictrough collectors, and the tracking accuracy of the collector one axis tracking system. This test method is for outdoor testing only. This document applies to parabolic trough collectors equipped with
