Mean and Peak Wind Load Reduction on Heliostats

Mean and Peak Wind Load Reduction on Heliostats

Research output: NREL › Subcontract Report

Abstract

Reduction of wind loads can provide economy in support structure and heliostat drive. Wind-tunnel tests have been directed at finding methods to reduce wind loads on heliostats.
