Abstract

In the current Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) context, where Central Receiver System (CRS) technology seems to be the most promising CSP technology with the highest cost reduction potential, CENER and IK4-TEKNIKER have joined efforts to develop an innovative heliostat concept within the framework of the EASY (hEliostats for eAsy and Smart deploYment) project, which will make it possible to reduce costs down to 100$/m2.The current work presents, the strengths of the EASY concept in comparison to current state-of-the-art technology available today. Furthermore, the most significant development lines and advances carried out within the EASY project are described, as a first introduction of an innovative work that is being further developed.
