Optical simulation of a central receiver system : comparison of different softw...
Jafrancesco, David; Cardoso, João P.; Mutuberria, Amaia; Leonardi, Erminia; Les, Iñigo; Sansoni, Paola; Francini, Franco; Fontani, DanielaABSTRACT: Heliostat field layout design is a critical task in solar tower power plant construction due to its impact in the final plant efficiency and cost. The complexity of these systems and the high number of parameters to define during the field design stage demand the use of suitable simulation tools to compare different design options and evaluate the final performance of the heliostat field. This work co...
