A Model Predictive Control Approach for Heliostat Field Power Regulatory Aiming Strategy under Varying Cloud Shadowing Conditions

Weather conditions have significant impacts on the solar concentration processes of the heliostat fields in solar tower power plants. The cloud shadow movements may cause varying solar irradiance levels received by each heliostat. Hence, fixed aiming strategies may not be able to guarantee the solar...
