AbstractHFLCAL is a program for layout and optimization of heliostat fields of central receiver systems (CRS) based
on annual performance calculation. Computation time for performance estimation is saved by using a
simplified mathematical model for the concentrator optics: the reflected image of each heliostat is described
by a circular normal distribution. This approximation is justified when the standard deviation of the statistical
mirror error exceeds 1 mrad. The paper shows details about the mathematical model and its validation. The
HFLCAL code has been continuously used and enhanced in numerous R&D projects. The current features of
HFLCAL comprise (among others) automatic multi-aiming, secondary concentrator optics, tower reflector
systems, various receiver models and the ability of least-cost optimization with various optimization
algorithms. A graphical user interface has been added to the program that supports menu-driven interactive
commands and depicts calculation results in a display window. | Item URL in elib: | https://elib.dlr.de/60308/ |
