Improved heliostat field design for solar tower plants

Collado, F.J. (Universidad de Zaragoza) ; Guallar, J. (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: In solar power tower (SPT) systems, selecting the optimum location of thousands of heliostats and the most profitable tower height and receiver size remains a challenge. Campo code is prepared for the detailed design of such plants in particular, the optimum layout, provided that the plant size is known. Therefore, less exhaustive codes, as DELSOL3, are also needed to perform preliminary parametric analysis that narrows the most economic size of the plant.
