Shadowing and blocking effect optimization for a variable geometry heliostat field
(Elsevier, 2015)
Optimization software is currently a key tool when designing heliostat fields. Shadowing, blocking, atmospheric attenuation, spillage and cosine effect losses can be hugely minimized with proper use of this tool, so they ...

Identifying periods of clear sky direct normal irradiance
(Elsevier, 2017)
When modeling the effect of the cloud transients in the Direct Normal Insolation (DNI), it is particularly relevant to identify those moments in which there are no clouds between the observer and the sun. In this paper, ...
