7.9 It has been suggested that a solar-thermal power plant should be based on a concentrator similar to the type shown in Figures 7.15.1 and 17.5.1. Sketch such an arrangement, showing schematically the following dimensions: the distance L from a flat reflecting element to a spherical receiver of diameter D and width of flat reflector W. If the reflector size is limited by wind loading to W = 10 m and if (in a large system) Lmax = 1 km, what (in terms of D) must be the pointing accuracy of the reflector?
