Heliostat Tracking Influence on Wind Pattern within a Real-Scale Heliostat Field

Significant differences of wind pattern between outer edge and inner rows due to heliostat orientation and field In stow position height (4m): Wind speed decreased by ~ 30%, wind gust decreased by ~ 20% Turbulence intensity increased by ~20% Almost no difference if heliostats are tracked or not

Abstract

Significant differences of wind pattern between outer edge and inner rows due to heliostat orientation and field In stow position height (4m): Wind speed decreased by ~ 30%, wind gust decreased by ~ 20% Turbulence intensity increased by ~20% Almost no difference if heliostats are tracked or not
