Challenge<\/h4>\n

In the field of Renewable Energies, Concentrated Solar Power-CSP technology is an efficient, competitive and clean alternative to fossil fuels. Compared to other renewable energies, CSP allows the storage of thermic energy and thus the performance continuity and predictability required by industrial needs. Tower plant is one of the CSP systems: it works by concentrating solar radiation onto a central tower through flat mirrors (heliostats). A crucial aspect for the performance of this system is the orientation of heliostats with two degrees of freedom. Numerical simulations of the solar energy concentration depending on the mirror field configuration and climatic conditions allow to define optimal design parameters of plants.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h4>\n

CRS4-2 is a flexibile software tool for the performance analysis of a central receiver solar field. The software is a deterministic mathematical model which is alternative to the existing statistical models both in rapresentation of the solar field and in the ability to simulate multi-tower systems with heliostats of variable height, position and orientation.<\/p>\n
