Precision Angle Measurement System for Enhanced Heliostat Performance and Cost Reduction
Topic: MetrologyPrincipal Investigator: Heejin Choheejin.cho@unlv.edu
This project aims to address the objectives outlined by HelioCon, with a primary focus on improving the economic performance of heliostat fields through the development of a cutting-edge measurement instrument called the Operating Surface Angle Measurement System (OSAMS). It is designed to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of heliostat design, prototyping, and field performance evaluation by enabling precise measurement of various parameters affecting heliostat accuracy of the reflective beam.
