Dual axis tracking model for a heliostat field solar tower heat flux investigation

The heat flux density and distribution are the main dominant design parameters for the solar tower plant output power and receiver formation. Beside the plant geometries of the tower height, heliostat dimensions, field layout, and the optical properties, the quality of these two values depends on th...
