Abstract
This paper presents results of a central receiver design study. In a preliminary study, tower height and aperture nod angle are varied and optimum heliostat fields costed, it was determined that 55 MW could be absorbed effectively at 2.5 MW/m2 using a 100 m aperture height and an aperture tilted down from looking north by 60 to 90 degrees. In a subsequent study using more representative cost and loss models the design of an optimum field for this application is developed, and the result of several variations considered.
