An open-loop control algorithm for improved tracking in a heliostat
Renewable energy, biomass & sustainabilityThe growing energy demand and its relation to climate change have driven the search for sustainable alternatives, such as concentrated solar energy. In this context, heliostats play a crucial role by reflecting and concentrating solar light onto a receiver. However, traditional control approaches based on geographical data have limitations.
