Genetic algorithm optimization of heliostat field layout for the design of a central receiver solar thermal power plant

The heliostat field layout in a central receiver solar thermal power plant has significant optical losses that can ultimately affect the overall output power of the plant. In this paper, an optimized heliostat field layout based on annual efficiency and power of 50 MW for the local coordinates of Qu...
