Dynamic conversion of solar generated heat to electricity [PDF]

The effort undertaken during this program led to the selection of the water-superheated steam (850 psig/900 F) crescent central receiver as the preferred concept from among 11 candidate systems across the technological spectrum of the dynamic conversion ...

In-situ reflectivity monitoring of heliostats using calibration cameras

SOLARPACES 2018: International Conference on Concentrating Solar Power and Chemical Energy Systems, 2019
It is well-known that the efficiency of Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants depends strongly on maintaining a high level of heliostat reflectivity.

More Efficient Heliostat Fields for Solar Tower Plants: The HELIOSUN Project

SolarPACES Conference Proceedings
Heliostats could represent up to 60% of the investment cost for solar tower plants with more than 100 MWe of power, then reducing the cost of heliostats would have an important cost reduction of the plant.
