title = "Where should beam down heliostat central rays intersect the final optical element axis?",
abstract = "A beam down solar system is adjusted to maximize the power collected through a final optical element concentrator. The power reaching the outlet of the final optical element is studied as a function of the reflectivity of its facets, and the height of the central ray convergence point of the beam down central reflector. A configuration that maximizes the energy fed to the solar receiver during the experimental campaign of the CSPonD Demo project is chosen and implemented at the beam down installation at the Masdar Institute Solar Platform.",
