Heliostat field design from HFLCAL for a 125 megawatt plant
Heliostat field design from HFLCAL for a 125 megawatt plant
HFLCAL is a program for designing and optimising heliostat arrays of central receiver systems on the basis of an annual power calculation. The calculation time for the power estimation is saved by using a simplified mathematical model for the concentrator optics: The reflected image of each heliostat is described by a circular normal distribution.
