Towards the Chilean solar thermal potential knowledge for solar power tower plants [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2018 The present paper presents a very simple energy yield model fitted using the annual DNI and the latitude as main inputs, considering a solar tower CSP plant, with 100 MW of net energy output and 6 hours of thermal storage. Furthermore, a mask of suitable areas for CSP power tower installations in Chile is also shown.

Strategies in tower solar power plant optimization [PDF]
Solar Energy, 2012 A method for optimizing a central receiver solar thermal electric power plant is studied. We parametrize the plant design as a function of eleven design variables and reduce the problem of finding optimal designs to the numerical problem of finding the minimum of a function of several variables.
