Four heliostat concepts with extensive use of timber, concrete, or polymers were developed. For cost comparison, a 2 m² benchmark heliostat was designed and built with only moderate or no use of these materials. The benchmark heliostat was found to

An approach to estimate the wind load spectra for heliostats is proposed. It is based on the wind-induced fatigue cycle counts for buildings given by the Eurocode EN 1991 and considers heliostat specific impact factors. The approach can be further re

Accurate estimation of the static and dynamic wind loads on heliostats based on detailed measurement and characterisation of turbulence is crucial to avoid structural failure and reduce the cost of the structural heliostat components. Wind load predi

Strong efforts are being made to drive heliostat cost down. These efforts are summarised to give an update on heliostat technology comprising: determination of wind loads, heliostat dimensioning, solutions for the different sub-functions of a heliost

A complete set of innovations are combined to a new heliostat of minimum cost. The main improvements are a monolithic sandwich-cantilever-arm concentrator of low material and fabrication cost, a lay down of the panels during storms to reduce the maxi

Several approaches for cost reduction of heliostats, which fit well to each other, are combined to a new heliostat concept to achieve the current challenging cost objectives: The wind loads are reduced by appropriate manipulators which reduces weight
