Abstract

Achieving a decarbonized energy sector by 2050 will require the development of cost-effective technologies beyond today’s commercial concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) technologies. Achieving the 2030 target will depend heavily on reducing the cost of heliostats, while improving technical performance. There are several opportunities for metrology, in addressing heliostat optical error, thus increasing the overall heliostat efficiency. In addition, opportunities in reducing the costs of manufacturing, assembly, calibration, or operations and maintenance exists.
