SolarPILOT also integrates a Monte-Carlo ray tracing engine (SolTrace), providing improved re- ceiver optical modeling capability, a user-friendly front end for geometry defnition, and side-by-side validation of the analytical algorithms. This paper discusses several of these methods, including dynamic heliostat grouping to reduce the expense of intercept factor evaluation, approximation of annual productivity with a subset of time steps throughout the year, polygon clipping to accurately calculate inter-heliostat shadowing and blocking, receiver and tower geometry optimization, and a trigonometric image transformation technique that ensures model accuracy for small heliostats. The individual heliostat modeling approach increases computational expense in comparison with DELSO元, so SolarPILOT implements a number of improvements to the analytical approximation method to improve model accuracy and computational efficiency.

By applying the analytical model to individual heliostat images rather than large groups or zones of heliostats, SolarPILOT can characterize a wide variety of heliostat feld layouts. The current help functionality in SolTrace consists of LK a function reference listing and a link to the PDF of the Wendelin et al. The tool uses the analytical fux image Hermite series approximation originally implemented in the DELSO元 software developed by Sandia National Laboratory in the early 1980’s. For the latter, results are compared with and validated against those obtained with the Monte Carlo ray tracer, SolTrace.
