The innovation in concentrated solar power (CSP) systems is one of the many vital solutions to meet the ever-increasing global energy demands. Among various CSP systems, point focus solar concentrators can attain a higher concentration ratio and helps reduce the size of the receiver, resulting in higher operating temperatures, lower thermal losses, and higher system exergy. This article presents a review on a particular class of CSP systems known as stationary point focus solar concentrators, that is, point focus solar concentrators having a stationary receiver. They can be categorized as (a) Scheffler reflector, (b) Scheffler-type concentrator, (c) high temperature concentrator, (d) central tower receiver, and (e) CNRS solar furnace. Having a stationary receiver helps reduce the maintenance and simplifies the plumbing network for heat transfer fluid. However, low maintenance might be a tradeoff on the performance side. This review systematically collates the literature on stationary point focus solar concentrators. Also, the basics of solar angles and various solar tracking systems applicable to this class of CSP systems are covered.

Their primary purpose is to produce heat. However, due to their deteriorating impact on the environment, the quest for a greener source of energy has intensified. Solar energy is a substitute by which Earth receives, on average, 1000 W/m 2 of energy. However, due to the low intensity of solar energy, its utilization is challenging. A viable option is concentrating the sunrays with either point-focus or line-focus solar concentrators. The performance of a concentrator depends on its concentration ratio and the temperature at the focus. A higher concentration ratio (ratio of aperture to focal area) helps reduce the size of the receiver resulting in higher operating temperatures, lower thermal losses, and higher system exergy. Figure 1 shows a typical working range of temperatures and the concentration ratio for different solar con-centrators. 1 The point-focus concentrators have the advantage of having a higher concentration ratio over line focus concentrators for the same aperture area. Several researchers have reviewed the works on solar con-centrators. Some of the recent works highlighted in Table 1 focus on various aspects of CSP systems such as the thermal and optical performance, performance enhancement techniques, design methodology, modeling approaches, component level analysis, applications, economic analysis, etc. Parabolic trough (PT) systems are the most matured technologies among all CSPs. Central tower receiver (CTR) plants are catching up due to their scalability and economics. Although they can operate at a temperature above 1000 C, they are hindered by a lack of advances in receiver materials that are corrosive
