Abstract :
This paper presents a method for the control of heliostats for the tower type solar thermal power generation applications without the light beam sensor, including solar position sensor and projection light sensor. Theoretically, sensorless control is not a no-error control, so the paper also presents some methods to eliminate the steady-state control error in engineering applications.
