Abstract

In this paper, starting from the relevant data of the heliostat field, we firstly built an accurate computational model and established a 3D coordinate system with the tower as the origin, and visualized the data through Matplotlib to present the results clearly. Finally, we constructed a reliable mathematical geometric model and explored how to optimize the heliostat field by a genetic algorithm: maximizing the output power per unit area with the annual power already determined.
