Abstract
Tower solar photovoltaic power plant has a broad application prospect as a sustainable energy solution, in which the shadow occlusion efficiency, as an important part of the optical efficiency of the mirror field, has always been a computational difficulty. In this paper, the geometric projection method and Monte Carlo algorithm are used to explore the shadow occlusion efficiency of a heliostat field, and the two parts of shadowing and occlusion are simulated based on the coordinate transformation under the mirror field coordinate system. By calculating the shadow occlusion efficiency, the energy loss of the heliostat system can be evaluated, and then the system design can be optimized to improve the energy harvesting efficiency of the system.
