Influence of wind on receivers for solar power towers [PDF]

, 2014
In solar thermal power towers an array of mirrors reflect the sunlight to the top of a tower, where it is absorbed by the so-called receiver heating up a fluid. The heat of the fluid is used afterwards. Since the receiver is exposed to the ambience, part of the energy is lost due to the emitted radiation and the convective losses of the hot surface. In

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.
