Analysis of Optical Efficiency in Heliostat Field Layout with Various Separation Distance [PDF]
International Journal of Advances in Scientific Research and Engineering, 2019 The main aim of this paper is to design the heliostat field layout of solar thermal generation for a concentrated solar tower powerplant, based on the central power tower technology. In this design, the radial staggered pattern is proposed to reduce shadowingand blocking losses. The radial stagger arrangement is the most efficient for a given land area

Exergoeconomic and Thermodynamic Analyses of Solar Power Tower Based Novel Combined Helium Brayton Cycle-Transcritical CO2 Cycle for Carbon Free Power Generation. [PDF]
Glob Chall, 2023 A novel combined power cycle for solar power tower (SPT) system consisting of helium Brayton cycle (HBC) and transcritical CO2 (TCO2) for waste heat recovery is studied for carbon‐free generation. The performance of the proposed SPT based combined cycle (SPT‐HBC‐TCO2 cycle) is compared with SPT based basic cycle (SPT‐HBC) based on exergoeconomic and ...

Methodology for identifying improvements to a heliostat field layout [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2020 The ability to identify and quantify the performance of a heliostat field layout is typically done through an efficiency measure of an annual field evaluation. Although this is a good total measure, it is unable to indicate how a layout may be improved or enhanced at a local level. This ability is arguably of immense value and is realised in this paper

Particle swarm optimization of the layout of a heliostat field [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018 We present a new solar field layout optimization method that combines the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm with the parallelization power of the Graphical Processing Units (GPU). This new approach enables central receiver system designers to obtain very quickly an optimized field layout that take accurately into account all the optical ...
