“…Hence, a practical heliostat must be a low-cost device (less than $2000 including installation cost) [1]- [3]. On the other hand, analysis of typical field and receiver geometry shows that the accuracy required in the mirror drives to redirect the sun onto the receiver is less than 0.1" in both elevation and azimuth.…”

Abstract. The method presented here is an extension of the multiple shooting algorithm in order to handle multipoint boundary-value problems and problems of optimal control in the special situation of singular controls or constraints on the state variables. This generalization allows a direct treatment of (nonlinear) conditions at switching points. As an example a model of optimal heating and cooling by solar energy is considered. The model is given in the form of an optimal control problem with three control functions appearing linearly and a first order constraint on the state variables. Numerical solutions of this problem by multiple shooting techniques are presented.
