Energy, 2017, vol. 137, issue C, 285-291

Abstract: The distribution of temperature on a Solar Power Tower (SPT) plant receiver directly affects the lifespan of the structure and energy generated by the plant. Temperature peaks and uneven distributions can be caused by the aiming strategy enforced on the heliostat field.
