In-Situ Solar Tower Power Plant Optimization by Differentiable Ray Tracing
, 2023 Abstract Solar tower power plants play a key role to facilitate the ongoing energy transition as they deliver climate neutral electricity and direct heat for chemical processes. These plants generate temperatures over 1000 °C by reflecting sunlight with thousands of mirrors (heliostats) to a receiver.
