Automatic Heliostat Learning for In-situ Concentrating Solar Power Plant Optimization with Differentiable Ray Tracing

Max Pargmann,
Jan Ebert,
Daniel Maldonado Quinto
et al.

Abstract: Concentrating solar power plants (CSPs) are a clean energy source capable of competitive electricity generation even during night time, as well as the production of carbon-neutral fuels, offering a complementary role alongside photovoltaic plants. In CSPs, thousands of mirrors (heliostats) redirect sunlight onto a receiver, potentially generating temperatures exceeding 1000 °C. Practically, such efficient temperatures are never attained. Several unknown, yet operationally crucial parameters, e.g., misalignment… Show more
