Heliostat matrix designs for multi-tower central receiver solar power plants

摘要

A solar power plant, comprising a module, comprising; a tower; a solar receiver attached to the tower; and a matrix of heliostats comprising a plurality of linear support structures and a plurality of heliostats grouped in linear rows and mounted on the linear support structures, each of the linear support structures being parallel to each other to the other structures of linear support, in which the heliostat matrix is delimited by a substantially polygonal shape, and each heliostat comprises a mirror to reflect sunlight towards the associated solar receiver, characterized in that a matrix of modules is provided, in which the matrix of Heliostats of each module are divided into a plurality of regions, including each heliostat region of at least two of the linear rows, the mirrors within each region having substantially the same geometry, and having the mirrors of different regions different geometries, and why energy conduits are planned to add energy from the receptacles ores of the module matrix to an energy block
