Abstract: This work proposes a methodology to perform the fatigue analysis of the steam generator of a parabolic trough power plant. The following methodology assumes cycling duty scenario (300 start-ups and shut downs per year). Two start-up operations of the steam generator are analyzed: evaporator temperature ramp and heat transfer fluid temperature ramp. Furthermore, a part load operation is studied.
