Apparatus and Method for Closed-Loop Heliostat Tracking
This technology is an apparatus and method to accurately orient a field of multiple heliostats to reflect sunlight to a single distant receiver. Higher accuracy tracking than previously realized is needed to fully exploit future heliostats that better concentrate sunlight on the receiver by forming a disc image of the Sun. This innovation overcomes...
