Published at Solar Energy – Heliostat drift prediction model to improve heliostat position control in solar fields

Abstract One objective for the 3rd Generation of Concentrating Solar Power technologies is to improve the efficiency of Central Tower, which is among the most promising solar concentration technologies. Central Tower Power Generation Plants are made up of hundreds of heliostats that redirect solar radiation to a target. The precision of the solar tracking is …

Published at Renewable Energy – A new heliostat field optimal design strategy for deformable petal hybrid layout of concentrated solar power via multi-algorithm filtering

Abstract A new optimization method was proposed to design high-performance deformable petal heliostat fields for concentrated solar power. The petal field was divided into individual sectors, each separately designed to balance pattern orderliness and flexibility. A suitable high-dimensional optimization algorithm was identified from 129 different algorithms using multi-algorithm filtering. To examine the proposed method, four …
