“…This means that the lost power that can be attributed to receiver, tracking, and sub-optimal operation amounts the 41.9 % of the theoretical incident power on the surface of the receiver. From the thermal efficiency calculations performed during the project [4], a receiver efficiency of 68 % could be expected during the testing period of year, meaning that around 12-13 kW are lost due to non-optimal tracking and operation. At the sight of these results, it is expected that the receiver operation efficiency reached has been lower than in thermal simulations.…”

This paper presents the successes achieved during the construction, commissioning and testing of an innovative approach to stationary reflector/tracking absorber (SRTA) systems that demonstrate the viability of this kind of solar thermal solution. This novel approach is based on a Fresnel concept of a classical SRTA, which leads to cost reductions thanks to reducing the height reached by the solar field. In addition, it provides the SRTA systems with another extra layer of adaptability to different climatic, orographic and even economic situations. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of this solution, the MOSAIC project has constructed and commissioned a prototype based on this approach, surpassing challenges such as the flexible piping and showing new improvements that could be introduced in the future MOSAIC modules. The first tests have been conducted on this prototype demonstrating, still under suboptimal operational conditions, an efficiency of up to 18.6 % and the possibility to operate this system using molten salts for high output temperatures that could make the most of the 3D concentration. The modularity, versatility and adaptability demonstrated by this concept all along the project development lead to a wide portfolio of opportunities to integrate the MOSAIC concept in a variety of scenarios, free space availabilities, and different applications, while maintaining a reduced cost of energy production.

“…In the design of the "Leaftory" application, the developer employs the Prototype design method (Cagnoli et al, 2020). The prototype method is a software development method with a new paradigm in software development that represents an evolution in the development world by revolutionizing the creation of old software or famous sequential systems such as the Waterfall sequence (Heriyanti and Ishak, 2020;Supandi and Sudir, 2019).…”

The introduction of National Indonesian heroes at this time is still a little using existing technology, where technology is currently developing rapidly. Making prototypes about Indonesian heroes is a form of appreciating, remembering and remembering the existing heroes. Thus, the design of the "Leaftory" Cut Nyak Dien application is expected to make target users with the target of elementary school children ages 7-12 years able to know and remember Indonesian heroes by utilizing online mobile-based technology. The design of this application also pays attention to UI/UX by presenting an attractive appearance in the form of text, graphics and 2D animation to positively impact users. Developers also make trials to target users so that there is feedback from developers to users and vice versa.

“…Innovative new designs and alternatives to the reference tubular receivers are receiving research attention as possible solutions to increase solar-to-thermal/electrical efficiency, such as particle receivers [4], alternative point-focus designs [5] and volumetric receivers [6,7]. Research on volumetric receiver's dates from the early 80s with the first volumetric concept proposed by Fricker [8].…”

Two different wire mesh open volumetric receivers (OVRs) are studied together with six different coatings and two different working conditions in order to assess their effect on the performance of the OVR comparing them to the two baseline OVRs, uncoated and state-of-the-art. The results show that selective coatings produce the best OVR thermal results, having the best results when the solar absorptance is as high as possible and the thermal emittance is as low as possible.
