Target-Aligned Heliostat Field Layout for Non-Flat Terrain

open access: yes, 2012
The layout for a solar tower test facility for CSIR, Pretoria, is described. The solar tower system is designed for 400kWth receiver outlet power. The heliostat field layout takes into account both the real (non-flat) topography of the terrain as well as

Optical efficiency comparison of circular heliostat fields: Engender of hybrid layouts

Renewable Energy, 2021
Abstract Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Technology is a carbon-neutral, renewable energy source that can cover the high electricity demand even after sunset by utilizing only the sun's power. Although parabolic trough is the most established and used CSP technology, Solar Power Tower (SPT) is gaining maturity and popularity in recent years at the ...

Techno-economic heliostat field optimization: Comparative analysis of different layouts

Solar Energy, 2019
Abstract This paper presents an analysis of the effect of the land cost on the size and shape of the solar field. A parametric study has been performed, where the effect of the land cost is considered through the introduction of a parameter k, representing the ratio between the land and heliostats surface cost.

Performance Analysis Of Multilevel Heliostat Field Layout

2016
A novel heliostat field layout is suggested by dividing specified heliostats located farthest from the tower and exhibiting low optical efficiency into strips and increasing the height for these strips with varying heights, based on the consideration of no blocking. A novel geometrical equation is presented for this purpose, and the results indicate an

Heliostat Field Layout Design for Solar Tower Power Plant Based on GPU

IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2014
Abstract A new method of heliostat field layout design is presented for solar tower power plant in this paper. In order to make the best use of a stretch of land, maximizing the product of the annual optical efficiency and the ground coverage is taken as the optimization objective in consideration of the conflict between them on the premise that the ...
