Preface
Energy production, and in particular electric power production, is one of the greatest challenges our world has to deal with. Since we have been proved unable to handle energy consumption by reducing energy waste and energy losses, we must, at least, use environmentally friendly energy resources. Solar radiation is abandoned and could solve many energy problems the human society faces today. Nevertheless, harvesting it is not an easy task. Solar radiation has to be concentrated if we would like to use it efficiently in power production. One of the recently applied technologies serving this goal is solar radiation concentration using Linear Fresnel Reflector Systems. These Systems are m
