Introduction • Solar thermal power plant generates electricity from energy of the sun. • Field consists of a tower and heliostats. • A receiver located on top of the tower. • iPhone/iPod Touch Application. • Marketing Purpose. Visualization iPhone Fall 2009
Heliostat • The heliostat is composed of several mirror modules rather than having single large mirror. Visualization iPhone Fall 2009
Shading • Shading occurs at low sun angles when heliostat casts its shadow on a heliostat located behind it. Visualization iPhone Fall 2009
Blocking • Blocking can be observed in a heliostat field by noting reflected light on the backs of heliostats. Visualization iPhone Fall 2009
Requirement Specification • Hardware • iPhone/iPOD Touch • Apple Macintosh • Software • iPhone SDK • Unity Indie 3D Game Engine Visualization iPhone Fall 2009
