Abstract: A central solar plant based on beam-down optics is composed of a field of heliostats, a tower reflector (hyperboloid mirror), and a ground receiver interfaced at its aperture with one or a ...

Abstract: The “beam down” optics or “solar tower reflector” has been successfully used recently for testing in different projects at the Weizmann Institute of Science. There are currently sufficient data ...

Abstract: The “beam-down” optics or solar tower reflector, developed and demonstrated at the Weizmann Institute of Science during the past 9 years, could be a useful modification of the classic solar ...
