On Using a Gradient-based Method for Heliostat Field Layout Optimization [PDF]
Energy Procedia, 2014 AbstractThe most widely used methods for heliostat field optimization assume a particular pattern and then optimize the parameters that define the pattern to obtain a specified objective such as optimum optical efficiency or maximum power output. It has been demonstrated that these optimized patterns are not necessarily optimal; improvements are ...
