[0002] Driven by the continued growth in global energy demand and increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, tower solar thermal power generation systems have become an important development direction in the field of solar energy utilization due to their advantages of high concentration ratio, high operating efficiency, and easy coupling with energy storage. As a key component of tower solar thermal power generation systems, the heliostat field's layout directly determines the photothermal conversion efficiency and the overall economics of the power plant.

[0003] Existing heliostat layout methods mainly include single-tower and multi-tower layouts. However, in traditional single-tower layouts, the peripheral heliostats are too far from the heat collection tower, leading to a sharp decline in optical efficiency and a high risk of single-tower failure, thus limiting system reliability. Multi-tower layouts, using a simple symmetrical distribution, suffer from inflexible division of the collaborative area, low space utilization, and insufficient ability to handle complex constraints. Therefore, a novel multi-tower heliostat layout method is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example 1

[0021] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 The method for setting up a multi-heliostat field in this application is described in detail. Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating the multi-tower heliostat field setup method provided in this application. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the algorithm for the multi-tower heliostat field setting method provided in this application. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The multi-tower heliostat field setting method 100 includes steps S101 to S104.

[0022] In step S101, preset parameters are obtained, including: the number of heat collection towers, the size of the heliostat, the heliostat spacing control coefficient, the outer diameter of the candidate heliostat, the coordinates of each heat collection tower, the center coordinates of the preset area of ​​the heliostat, and the radius of the preset area of ​​the heliostat.

[0023] In this embodiment, key preset parameters are first obtained, which form the basis for setting up the heliostat field. Specifically, the number of solar collectors needs to be determined to clarify the overall architecture of the power plant; the dimensions of the heliostats, including their height and width; a heliostat spacing control coefficient is set to adjust the minimum spacing between the heliostats; the outer diameter of candidate heliostats is defined to determine the scale and boundary range of the entire heliostat field; and the specific location coordinates of each solar collector are obtained to provide a basis for dividing the preset heliostat areas and determining the relative positions between the heliostats and the solar collectors; the center point coordinates and radius of each preset heliostat area are determined as the basis for dividing the field area and calculating the boundary line.

[0024] Furthermore, the heliostat spacing control coefficient includes: a coefficient for globally adjusting the circumferential spacing and a coefficient for adjusting the radial spacing in different regions.

[0025] In this embodiment, the heliostat spacing control coefficient is a key parameter for the heliostat field layout, and can include two parts: one is the coefficient for globally adjusting the circumferential spacing. X The first purpose is to uniformly control the distribution density of heliostats around the solar collector in the circumference direction; the second is to adjust the coefficient of radial spacing in different areas. Y i ( i =1,2,3,4). i This represents a single region, allowing for independent adjustment of the radial spacing of the heliostats within each region. Through the heliostat spacing control coefficient, users can freely adjust the spacing between heliostats, achieving precise layout optimization, improving optical efficiency, and optimizing space utilization.

[0026] In step S102, the number of candidate heliostat regions, the regional parameters within each candidate heliostat region, and the boundary line attribute information between each preset heliostat region are determined according to the preset parameters through a predetermined region division method. The boundary line is generated by the intersection of each preset heliostat region.

[0027] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating the calculation of the number of candidate heliostat regions and their boundaries, as provided in this application. (Refer to...) Figure 4Based on preset parameters such as the number of solar collectors, heliostat dimensions, heliostat spacing control coefficients, candidate heliostat outer diameters, coordinates of each solar collector, center coordinates of the preset heliostat regions, and radius of the preset heliostat regions, the number of candidate heliostat regions and the regional parameters within each candidate heliostat region are determined through a predetermined region division method (such as linear or exponential region division). This ensures that each solar collector has a corresponding heliostat region, enabling multi-tower collaborative operation. Furthermore, by analyzing the geometric relationships of each preset heliostat region, the location, shape, and direction of the boundary lines formed by the intersection of these regions are determined. The regional parameters within each candidate heliostat region define the layout range and density of heliostats within that region, providing crucial reference information for determining the actual location of the heliostats.

[0028] Furthermore, the predetermined region division method may include at least one of linear region division and exponential region division.

[0029] Linear region partitioning is a simple and direct method that divides candidate heliostat regions according to a linear ratio. This method is suitable for situations where region parameters are uniformly distributed, such as when the heliostat density does not need to vary significantly between different regions. Linear partitioning can evenly distribute heliostats among the regions by calculating the area and optical requirements of each region. Figure 5 This is a flowchart illustrating the linear region partitioning process provided in this application. In practical applications, it can be referred to... Figure 5 Perform linear region division.

[0030] Exponential partitioning is a more flexible and refined method that allocates region parameters according to a specific exponential function. This method is suitable for situations where the heliostat density needs to be adjusted based on distance from the collector or other specific conditions. For example, regions closer to the collector may require a higher density to improve optical efficiency, while regions farther from the collector can have a lower density to reduce shading and shadowing losses. Exponential partitioning allows for control over the number and spacing of heliostats in each region by setting different exponential factors, thus achieving a more optimized layout. Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating the index region division provided in this application. In practical applications, it can be referred to... Figure 6 Divide the index into regions.

[0031] By using linear and exponential region partitioning, the most suitable method can be selected to determine the regional parameters within each candidate heliostat region, based on specific needs and optimization objectives.

[0032] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the structure for verifying the region attribution of candidate heliostats provided in this application. Figure 3In the diagram, the virtual circle (dashed circle) represents the candidate heliostat area generated around each solar collector tower, while the actual circle (green solid circle) represents the custom layout area of ​​the heliostat, i.e., the preset area of ​​the heliostat. L ab (The red dashed line) indicates the boundary line formed by the intersection of actual circle A and actual circle B. The radius of the restricted area of ​​Tower A is the radius of the purple circle above the text "Radius of Restricted Area of ​​Tower A", and the radius of the restricted area of ​​Tower B is the radius of the purple circle above the text "Radius of Restricted Area of ​​Tower B".

[0033] In specific applications, for example, the number of heat collection towers is set to... M The height of the heliostat is L h The width of the heliostat is W h The circumferential spacing control coefficient is X The radial spacing control factor is Y i The outer diameter of the virtual circle is R vir First, calculate the diagonal length of the heliostat. DH Heliostat spacing DM Then calculate the number of candidate heliostat regions. N And determine each boundary line and its attribute information.

[0034] diagonal length of heliostat DH It can be calculated using the following formula (1): (1)

[0035] Heliostat spacing DM It can be calculated using the following formula (2): (2)

[0036] In formula (2), desp Additional spacing for the heliostat.

[0037] Among them, the additional spacing distance of the heliostat desp It can be calculated using the following formula (3): (3)

[0038] In formula (3), X This is the circumferential spacing coefficient.

[0039] Next, based on the selected region division method, calculate the corresponding number of regions. For example, in linear region division, the cumulative radius can be calculated first. r Initialize with the number of regions, using the number of regions N As a loop condition, calculate the inner radius of the region starting from the first region. R_innerWith the outer diameter of the region R_outer_actual Then perform boundary constraint verification; if the inner diameter of the region... R_ inner Less than boundary constraints D ,but R_inner=D Perform staged processing on the outermost boundary of the virtual circle to ensure that the radius of the outermost boundary is the set outer diameter of the virtual circle. R vir .

[0040] For example, in the division of the index region, the radius of the innermost ring of the first region can be calculated first. R 1 , R 1 The calculation is based on the number of heliostats in the first region. Then, a judgment logic is executed to determine whether the outer diameter of the region is smaller than the outer diameter of the virtual circle. If not, the final number of regions is returned. N Thus, the number of virtual circular layout areas is obtained. N .

[0041] It should be noted that if linear region division is selected, the width of the base region also needs to be determined. W b With width increment W i .

[0042] Furthermore, the regional parameters within the candidate heliostat region include: the inner diameter of the region, the outer diameter of the region, the azimuth spacing, the number of circumferentially arranged mirrors, and the radial spacing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the inner radius of the region is defined as the inner boundary radius of each candidate heliostat region, thus defining the minimum range of the region. The setting of the inner radius of the region ensures that the heliostats are not placed too close to the heat collection tower, thereby avoiding optical loss and operational inconvenience caused by excessive distance.

[0044] The region outer diameter is the radius of the outer boundary of each candidate heliostat region, defining the maximum extent of the region. Setting the region outer diameter ensures that the heliostats are not placed too far from the solar collector, thus avoiding optical loss and land waste caused by excessive distance.

[0045] The azimuth spacing is the distance between heliostats in the circumferential direction (i.e., around the solar collector). Setting the azimuth spacing ensures that the heliostats are neither too densely distributed, causing shading, nor too sparse, wasting land. By adjusting the azimuth spacing, the layout density of the heliostats can be optimized, improving optical efficiency.

[0046] The number of heliostats arranged circumferentially is the number of heliostats arranged circumferentially within each candidate heliostat region. The setting of the number of heliostats arranged circumferentially directly affects the distribution density of heliostats in the circumferential direction, and needs to be comprehensively considered based on the inner diameter, outer diameter, and azimuth spacing of the region to ensure that the layout of heliostats is both reasonable and efficient.

[0047] The radial spacing is the distance between heliostats in the radial direction (i.e., the radial direction outward from the solar collector). Setting the radial spacing ensures that the heliostats are neither too densely distributed, causing shading, nor too sparse, wasting land. By adjusting the radial spacing, the heliostat layout density can be optimized, improving optical efficiency.

[0048] These regional parameters collectively define the heliostat layout within each candidate heliostat region, ensuring that the distribution of heliostats meets both optical efficiency requirements and practical engineering feasibility.

[0049] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the minimum spacing between the rings... ΔR min Calculated using the following formula (4): (4)

[0050] The boundary line can be determined by calculating the distance between the centers of the actual circles to see if they intersect. If the actual circles intersect, the boundary line is calculated again. After the loop ends, the set of all boundary lines is output.

[0051] Ring spacing in the same area ΔR i Calculated using the following formula (5): (5)

[0052] In formula (5), Y i This is the radial spacing coefficient. DM This represents the center-to-center distance between adjacent heliostats.

[0053] area i initial radius R i Calculated using the following formula (6): (6)

[0054] In formula (6), R 1 It is the radius of the innermost ring of the first region.

[0055] Number of rings between heliostats in the same area NrowS i Calculated using the following formula (7): (7)

[0056] In formula (7), ΔR i The ring spacing within the same region.

[0057] area i The width is calculated using the following formula (8): (8)

[0058] In formula (8), W b Based on the width of the base area, W i This is the width increment.

[0059] area i No. k The number of heliostats in the ring is calculated using the following formula (9): (9)

[0060] In step S103, the coordinates of each candidate heliostat corresponding to each heat collection tower are generated in a radially staggered manner based on the number of candidate heliostat regions, the region parameters, and the boundary line attribute information.

[0061] In this embodiment, based on the number of candidate heliostat regions determined in step S102, the region parameters of each region (including the azimuth spacing within each region, the number of circumferentially arranged regions, the radial spacing, the inner ring radius of each region, and the outer ring radius of each region), and the attribute information of the boundary lines (such as position, shape, and direction), the candidate heliostat coordinates are calculated based on parameters such as the center coordinates, radius, and heliostat spacing control coefficient of the preset heliostat region, providing a foundation for the initial layout of the heliostats. The candidate heliostat coordinates for each collector tower are generated using a radial staggered arrangement. This radial staggered arrangement effectively reduces mutual shading and shadow loss between heliostats, improves optical efficiency, and optimizes space utilization by staggering the heliostats in the radial direction.

[0062] Furthermore, generating candidate heliostat coordinates may also include: verifying whether the distance between any two adjacent candidate heliostat regions is greater than a preset distance.

[0063] In this embodiment, for each candidate heliostat region, the actual distance between it and its adjacent regions is calculated, and the calculated distance is compared with a preset distance. If the actual distance is less than the preset distance, one ring in the current region is reduced, thereby increasing the distance between regions and thus meeting the preset distance requirement. Here, "one ring" refers to one layout level of the heliostat in the radial direction.

[0064] It should be noted that the preset spacing can be set according to the size and optical performance of the heliostats and the requirements of the solar collector. The preset spacing can also take into account factors such as the reflection characteristics of the heliostats, changes in the solar incidence angle, and terrain, to ensure that the heliostats do not block each other under different time and seasonal conditions. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of generating candidate heliostats provided in this application. In practical applications, the generation of the candidate heliostats and their coordinates can be referenced... Figure 7 .

[0065] In step S104, the actual coordinates of each heliostat are determined based on the coordinates of each candidate heliostat and the parameters of the corresponding preset region of the heliostat, and the multi-tower heliostat field layout diagram is generated according to the actual coordinates of each heliostat.

[0066] In this embodiment, the actual coordinates of each heliostat are first determined based on the coordinates of each candidate heliostat and the parameters of the corresponding preset area of ​​the heliostat in step S103. The actual coordinates of each heliostat can determine a practical and feasible coordinate position for each heliostat. After determining the actual coordinate position of each heliostat, a multi-tower heliostat field layout diagram is generated using these actual coordinate positions.

[0067] Furthermore, determining the actual coordinates of each heliostat based on the coordinates of each candidate heliostat and the parameters of the corresponding preset heliostat region includes: performing a preset heliostat region check, a restricted area check of the solar collector tower, a boundary line check, and a region affiliation verification of the candidate heliostats according to the coordinates of each candidate heliostat and the parameters of the corresponding preset heliostat region.

[0068] In this embodiment, the heliostat preset area check can check whether each candidate heliostat is located within its preset area based on the coordinates of each candidate heliostat and the parameters of the corresponding preset area of ​​the heliostat (such as the inner diameter of the area, the outer diameter of the area, the azimuth spacing, the number of circumferential arrangements, and the radial spacing, etc.), thereby ensuring that the layout of the heliostats conforms to the pre-designed area division.

[0069] The inspection of the restricted areas of the solar collector tower can ensure that the coordinates of the candidate heliostat will not conflict with the restricted areas of the solar collector tower (such as the base of the solar collector tower, the operating area, etc.), thereby avoiding the placement of the heliostat within the restricted area of ​​the solar collector tower and ensuring that the installation and operation of the heliostat will not be interfered with by the structure of the solar collector tower.

[0070] Boundary line checks ensure that the coordinates of candidate heliostats do not cross the boundary lines between different preset heliostat regions. This prevents heliostats from being placed at the boundary between two regions, ensuring that each heliostat clearly belongs to a specific preset region.

[0071] Verification of candidate heliostat region affiliation is a crucial step that ensures each candidate heliostat is correctly assigned to its corresponding solar collector. Figure 8 This is a flowchart illustrating the process for selecting the location of the multi-tower heliostat field provided in this application. In practical applications, it can be referred to... Figure 8 The location of the multi-tower heliostat field was selected.

[0072] Furthermore, the candidate heliostat region attribution verification includes: determining the solar collector tower to which the candidate heliostat located in one of the multiple preset heliostat regions belongs by using the vector dot product method.

[0073] In this embodiment, for complex region attribution problems arising from the intersection of multiple regions, the vector dot product method can be used. (Continue to refer to...) Figure 3 , M ab Represents the actual circle A the center of the circle A C Compared to the actual circle B the center of the circle B C Connections and L ab The resulting intersection points.

P On the other side of the boundary line.

[0074] For a detailed view of the heliostat field layout, please refer to the diagram. Figure 9A , Figure 9B as well as Figure 9C .in, Figure 9A This is a diagram showing the layout effect of a dual-tower heliostat field generated by the multi-tower heliostat field setting method provided in this application.

Figure 9C This is a diagram showing the layout effect of a four-tower heliostat field generated by the multi-tower heliostat field setting method provided in this application.

[0075] In addition, the heliostat field layout map can also show the specific location, number, size and relative position of each heliostat to the solar collector tower. It can also show important information such as the boundaries, junctions, topographic features, buildings and ecological protection zones of the heliostat preset area.

[0076] In summary, this application provides a method 100 for setting up a multi-tower heliostat field. By obtaining key preset parameters, dividing candidate heliostat regions and determining region parameters, generating candidate heliostat coordinates using a radial staggered method, and finally determining the actual coordinates of the heliostats and generating a multi-tower heliostat field layout diagram, the method solves the problems of multi-field intersection and heliostat division. This method has strong applicability and is particularly suitable for complex multi-field intersection scenarios, making the layout of the heliostat field more flexible.

[0077] Furthermore, this application introduces a distance control coefficient, which can adjust the spacing between heliostats and the number of heliostats within the actual circular layout range, providing operational space for field optimization.

[0078] In addition, this application provides linear region division and exponential region division methods, which can freely set the heliostat field region and determine the heliostat region affiliation. Example 2
