[TRNSYS-users] Cost Functions for Collector Types - Anyone?

[dev sharma]

Hey All,

I am doing techno-economic analysis for solar based absorption cycle
and now am looking for the following types of collectors:
1. Flat plate collector
2. Fresnel collector
3. Evacuated tube collector

I found the following values in Florides et.al. (2001), can anyone
comment on the accuracy as of today?
1. Flat plate :  188 $/m2
2. Evacuated tube : 307 $/m2

I seriously doubt these cost functions as they're pretty old (i,e >12years).

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Dev
