Abstract

Abstract

For solar power tower technology, the improvement of interception efficiency of heliostat field and the extension of central receiver's life time are two technical difficulties. To the receiver, higher interception efficiency means more thermal shocks and stronger stresses of high temperatures mainly contribute to the reduction of receiver's life time. To address these problems, a semi-random distribution strategy is proposed to select the best aiming point of the heliostat, and the distribution of onedimensional array arranged on the centerline of the receiver is carried out for further optimization. It is shown by simulation that through our optimization the temperature distribution on the receiver surface becomes much more uniform while maintaining acceptable interception efficiency.
- Concentrated solar power (CSP),
- distribution in one-dimensional array,
- interception efficiency,
- multi-aiming strategy,
- quadruple prism shaped receiver
