Sun tracking by heliostats with arbitrary orientation of primary and secondary axes

open access: yesSolar Energy, 2020
The tracking of heliostats with arbitrary orientation of the primary and secondary axes is considered, and the explicit formulas are derived to find the tracking angles for a given position of the sun.

Experimental investigation of peak wind loads on tandem operating heliostats within an atmospheric boundary layer

Solar Energy, 2019
During the operation of a concentrating solar thermal (CST) power tower plant, heliostat mirrors inclined at different angles act as bluff bodies that are exposed to large drag loads from the wind.

The influence of atmospheric boundary layer turbulence on the design wind loads and cost of heliostats

, 2020
This paper investigated the influence of the turbulent wind fluctuations in the lowest 10 m of the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), depending on the surface roughness of the terrain surrounding a heliostat field, on the required dimensions and material ...

Heliostat Tailored to Brazil

Proceedings of the ISES Solar World Congress 2015, 2016
For Brazil it is important to realize a high local production share because of high import tax rates. The rim drive concept offers an alternative for expensive heliostat drive solutions with slew and linear drives from abroad. By (locally produced) rims the demands on the drives regarding strength and precision are reduced to a very low value and low ...

Aiming clusters of heliostats over solar receivers for distributing heat flux using one variable per group

, 2020
The performance of solar central receivers is inherently linked to the aiming distribution/cluster of heliostats over the surface of solar receivers. A reliable methodology is necessary to maintain the lifespan of these costly devices.
