Preliminary Determination of Heliostat Field Range and Research of Receiver Depression Angle in Solar Power Tower

Abstract: In solar power towers, the determination of heliostat field range is the groundwork of heliostat field layout, which is one of the most significant parts in plant design. The objective of this paper is to analyze the relationship between the heliostat field range and the receiver depression angle to obtain the optimal plant design proposal. Considering receivers with different shape apertures, heliostat field ranges were preliminarily determined by calculation based on the geometrical optics theory. Moreover, … Show more

“…A Heliostat plant design was carefully engineered in order to achieve the optimum layout scheme by determining the accurate depression angle [8]. Another plant design consideration is the wind effect, which was analyzed by means of the finite elements method [4] and applied using full-state feedback with a nonlinear observer to correct the position of the light on a central receiver to a reference position [9].…”
