LiDAR For Heliostat Optical Assessment (Final Report)
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
- Gryphon Technologies, Albuquerque, NM (United States)
This project has sought to develop new uses for surveying-quality Light Detecting and Ranging (LiDAR) 3D scanning sensors in the automatic/autonomous assessment of optical errors in largescale concentrating solar power heliostat fields. Past experiments have demonstrated the ability of a 3D-LiDAR to acquire highly accurate point cloud measurements across several Sandia NSTTF heliostats. The goal of this project is to expand upon this work to see if and how it can be used in large commercial heliostat fields.
