| Abstract | The SkyTrough™ is a new high-efficiency parabolic trough solar collector that has been designed with features to reduce capital cost, shorten installation time, and reduce O&M cost. This collector builds on the excellent success of prior generation utility-scale parabolic trough designs, but incorporates several engineering and material innovations, listed below. 1. Lightweight, low cost, unbreakable non-glass reflectors using ReflecTech® Mirror Film with reflectance equal to silvered glass mirrors — and easy to install and replace, 2. Large aperture area parabolic trough module with more than double the aperture area of the Nevada Solar One (NSO) module, 3. Longer linear receiver (SCHOTT PTR™80) utilized to match the larger aperture width SkyTrough, 4. Aluminum space frame structure that is considerably lighter per unit of aperture area compared to NSO, 5. Total component “part count” that is considerably reduced per unit of aperture area, yielding a shorter assembly time per unit of aperture than the NSO modules, 6. Hydraulic-based rotary actuation system that provides built-in “stow” locking capability and higher torque capability compared to NSO, 7. SkyTrakker™ control system reduces inrush currents and reduces parasitic power consumption associated with collector sun tracking. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
