State of the Art in Heliostats and Definition of Specifications (Survey for a low cost heliostat development)

Description

The concentrator system in Central Receiver - Concentrating Solar Power (CR-CSP) technologies consists basically of a field of heliostats each with mobile reflective surface to maintain "stable" point of rerouting of the direct sunlight and a tower that supports a receiver or reactor. This concentrator system can represent up to 50% of the investment costs of the CR-CSP, so that the cost reduction of this element is clearly one of the strategies to make this technology competitive.
