Collaborative distributed sun-tracking control system for building integration with minimal plant area and maximum energy-conversion efficiency

Toward a standard testing methodology for solar thermal collectors with variable-geometry: The direct radiation incidence angle modifier issue

“…In 2006, a company named Tecnología Solar Concentradora (Tecnología solar concentradora web page) was founded to develop the CCStaR project. Several prototypes have been developed and investigated by the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), and some experiments have been reported in Sallaberry et al (2014), , Alorda et al (2015), Martínez et al (2011), Pujol Nadal (2012, Pujol et al (2010). Sallaberry et al (2014) tested the CCStaR V2 prototype on the basis of the EN 12975-2 (EN 12975-2, 2006) test method under quasi-dynamic conditions.…”
