Abstract
Accurate dual-axis sun tracking is the key feature of a heliostat and is critical for the performance of a solar tower power plant. The primary tracking errors with respect to the geometrical errors could be theoretically determined from the measurements of the BCS based on optimization algorithm. Tests are performed on two heliostats in DAHAN solar tower plant and analyses are performed to evaluate the comprehensive effect of the six angular geometrical errors on the heliostat tracking accuracy. The test results show that the altitude-azimuth tracking angle formulas for several fixed geometrical errors work well and have a effectiveness for a given period of time.
