Abstract: An experimental campaign has been conducted on a solar parabolic trough collector feeding a micro-CHP system (micro-cogeneration). The originality of the solar field is the DSG (direct steam generation) using a two axis tracker and a small size (46.5 m2) collector. The first step of the characterisation of the CHP (Combined Heat and Power) system is the study of the solar field under direct steam generation.
