Mixed heliostat field combining, in the same field, heliostats of different sizes and/or with different types of facets, all of them having at least one facet and being canted or not, and either having spherical, cylindrical, flat or quasi-flat (spherical with a high curvature radius) facets, such that the solar field is optimised in order to minimise shadows and blockages between heliostats, as a result of correct positioning of the heliostats in the field.

Manageable hybrid plant using photovoltaic and solar thermal technology and associated operating method, wherein said hybrid plant comprises three levels of generation: The photovoltaic modules of the invention are located in: in the north or south side of the tower not occupied by the cavity; the area surrounding the solar receivers of the tower; on covers or roofs of the plant at the rear of the heliostats; on land annexed to the tower plant.

Concave receiver for a Stirling dish the main components of which are tubes (which form the surface on which the concentrated solar light beam falls), collectors (welded to the tubes and place the fluid that runs through the tubes in communication with the tanks), tanks (the internal areas of the collectors from which the working gas is distributed to each of the tubes) and cupolas (of which there are two types, that for housing the regenerator and the expansion cupola which is the area where the working gas is at a higher temperature) comprising a series of tubes () extending from one collector (), perpendicular thereto, to the other (), also perpendicular thereto, and having a straight part () running from the inside of each collector () to the point where the tube starts to curve and a central part () in the shape of an arc of a circumference.

A device for transformation of concentrated solar energy including a photovoltaic cell and laser device, which includes a first reflecting mirror adapted for entry of a beam of solar rays and a second reflecting mirror adapted for an outlet of a laser beam, with the first reflecting mirror reflective on an outlet wavelength of the laser beam and transparent to a totality of a solar spectrum and the second reflecting mirror partially reflective on the wavelength of the laser beam, reflective in an interval of the solar spectrum which is absorbed and transparent in other wavelengths different to these, and at the outlet of the laser beam. The device includes a nucleus doped with substances for total or partial absorption of the solar spectrum and coatings.
