Abstract
Linear Fresnel Reflector Systems are characterized by simple design and low construction and maintenance costs. They typically use a set of long flat or slightly curved reflective elements of equal or varying width mounted on trackers. The reflectors are arranged so that they reflect the direct solar radiation concentrating it onto a stationary central linear receiver (absorber) located above them.
