The current state of the practice for the heliostats solar field control system within the CSP community is characterized by a lack of standardization and reuse among the various parties involved in the development of those central receiver solar power plants. The proposed project is aimed at solving this issue by developing an advanced Heliostat Field Control System (HFCS) that consists of multiple modules for the various required functions and can be easily adapted to different heliostats/solar field configurations to reduce the costs and enhance the solar field performance over today’s technology.
