Single, Stretched Membrane, Structural Module Experiments

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

This report describes tests done on stretched-membrane heliostats used to reflect solar radiation onto a central receiver. The tests were used to validate prior analysis and mathematical models developed to describe module performance.
