Research on Optimization Design of Heliostat Field Based on Multiple Models

This paper will optimize the heliostat field based on different models. Using quadtree model, the absorption tower is built in the center of mirror field under the preconditions of fixed size and installation height, and the annual average optical efficiency, annual average thermal output power and annual average thermal output power per unit mirror area are calculated. Based on the annealing model, the parameters of the mirror field are designed according to the rated annual average thermal output power, so that the average annual thermal output power per unit mirror area can be optimized under this condition. Through the above model, the aim of optimizing the heliostat field design is achieved, and the annual average output thermal power per unit mirror area is increased.
