Automated Heliostat Installation
SolarPACES Conference ProceedingsA concept for the automated installation of heliostats for solar tower power plants was developed with the primary objective of reducing installation costs. Following a discussion on the various types of foundations available for installation, the pile foundation was selected on account of its favourable cost per heliostat.

Large-Scale Production of Heliostats
SolarPACES Conference ProceedingsHeliostats are the main cost factor of solar tower plants. To optimize them in terms of cost, it is mandatory to estimate the fabrication cost. A method to do so is presented and applied to a sample heliostat.

Wireless heliostat and control system for large self-powered heliostat fields [PDF]
, 2011 The HELIOMESH project pursues the goal to evaluate and validate the feasibility of a wireless mesh network as control technology in a field of self-powered heliostats, thus eliminating the need for cabling. To enhance precision of control, an auto-calibration method was implemented.

Field Deployable Mirror Soiling Detection Based on Polarimetric Imaging
SolarPACES Conference ProceedingsHeliostat mirror soiling is one of the significant factors for reduced optical efficiency of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) fields. However, it remains challenging to determine the mirror soiling patterns across the large area of the CSP field.

, 2014 En heliostat är en motordriven spegel som används i tornsolkraftverk, kända som Solar Power Tower, även kallade Central Receiver system. Tekniken har funnits sedan 1970-talet och går ut på att hundratals eller tusentals heliostater speglar solstrålarna till toppen av ett högt torn, där stålningsenergin omvandlas till värmeenergi, som t.ex. kan användas
