Abstract
In this paper, a model of parabolic trough solar field with single-axis tracked was developed based on detailed mathematical derivation. A software tool is also developed for its performance calculation. By the model and software, the direct solar irradiation (DNI) intercepted by the collectors and the thermal output can be obtained for a given solar field under different tracking mode. To obtain the characters of the solar field performance with different tracking modes and regions, the annual performance of the solar field is evaluated for different sites in China such as Beijing, Lhasa. Besides that, the effect of the space between collector rows on thermal output of a solar field is also discussed.
