The Fixed Mirror Distributed Focus (FMDF) hemispherical bowl is a solar thermal power technology which has been studied for several years as a potentially attractive means of producing electricity. This paper discusses projections of the collector (concentrator and receiver) performance and cost that could be achieved by five variations of the FMDF...

Context 1
... resulting design point efficiencies calculated for the concentrator, receiver, and collector (product of concentrator and receiver) are given in Table 3. ...
Context 2
... the data in Table 3 show, the design point collector performance of some of the concepts is quite good; in fact, for some of the cases it is comparable to that of a central receiver. The problem is that the bowl collectors will operate the vast majority of the time at off-design conditions. ...
