Solar radiation power station - with program controlled heliostats for reflecting light to best absorber

摘要

Solar radiation power station consists of several tower absorbers which are installed at various localities. The tracking heliostats are controlled by a set programme or by sensors to reflect the sunlight in subsequent time intervals into the most advantageously sited absorber. This eliminates the disadvantage of single tower absorbers that a part of the reflector field only contributes little light yield at low angles of elevation of the sun (morning and evening).
