Solar Energy is one of the forms of Renewable Energy that is available abundantly. This work is executed on the enhancement of the performance of solar parabolic trough collector using Intensified Ray Convergence System (IRCS). This paper distinguishes between the performance of solar parabolic trough collector with continuous dual axis tracking and a fixed solar parabolic trough collector (PTC) facing south (single axis tracking). The simulation and performance of the solar radiations are visualized and analyzed using TRACEPRO 6.0.2 software. The improvement in absorption of solar flux was found to be enhanced by 39.06% in PTC using dual axis tracking, absorption of solar flux increases by 52% to 200% in PTC receiver using perfect mirror than PTC using black chrome coating.

Solar energy is available in abundant quantity which can be utilized for thermal and power generation applications. The maximum solar energy extraction for application is challenging. This review focuses on the performance enhancement of parabolic trough collector. Heat transfer through absorber tube, various nanofluids with concentration is stated. Thermal efficiency increases due to the use of parabolic collector with booster reflector and glass cover over the system performance. The complex 3D analysis (ANSYS) gives accurate distribution of heat flux over the absorber tube.

The cost and availability of conventional energy sources currently used as inputs for agricultural production continue to be a very important concern in planning and decision making. Interest in solar energy for use in space and water heating, grain drying, and other areas, has been stimulated because it is technically feasible, abundant, renewable, and nonpolluting. Although it is reasonably reliable and can provide a large portion of the total heat need for many situations, it does require an auxiliary source of energy.
