A review of wind loads on heliostats and trough collectors
Sun, Honghang; Gong, Bo; Yao, Qiang - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 32 (2014) C, pp. 206-221
This article reviews existing papers and presents considerations about wind loads on heliostats and trough collectors. Research efforts all over the world have focused, for decades, on the evaluation and reduction of wind loads on heliostats and trough collectors. However, the subject continues...

Experimental wind load model for heliostats
Zang, Chuncheng; Wang, Zhifeng; Liu, Hong; Ruan, Yi - In: Applied Energy 93 (2012) C, pp. 444-448
experiments on an actual heliostat rather than a wind tunnel heliostat model. The tested factors include the strain in the … use in a finite element analysis of the heliostat. The finite element results agree with the experimental data; therefore …
