System Performance and Cost Sensitivity Comparisons of Stretched Membrane Heliostat Reflectors with Current Generation Glass/Metal Concepts

NREL

Research output: NLR › Technical Report

Abstract

Heliostat costs are recognized as a major factor in the cost of solar central receiver plants. Performance predictions are used to compare both focused and unfocused stretched membrane heliostats with state-of-the-art glass/metal heliostats from a systems perspective.
