Solar Cooling with concentrated solar power (CSP)

Hello World!

I would like to simulate a solar cooling system which generates hot power with Concentrated Solar Power (parabolic trough collector) system integrated an Acummulation Tank and an Absorption Chiller. Parabolic Trough Collector system should also track the sun in one-axis. But I cannot find any component in EnergyPlus libraries about neither Concentrated Solar Power Systems nor sun trackers in the EnergyPlus's library.

Is there any way to simulate such systems?

Thanks in advance!!
