Solar Thermal Test Facility heliostat development
The STTF, which uses an array of 222 heliostats in a north field configuration, is capable of supplying 5 MWth energy onto a target on the tower. Data are being gathered from experience with this heliostat array at the STTF, which is currently a primary source of heliostat operational data. The STTF heliostat system is described, and performance data are discussed.
