Control parameter for optimizing the heliostat densities.
= 0, no heliostat density optimization. The “default” densities
(which are a function of the tower height) are used.
The heliostat field boundaries are optimized;
= 1, heliostat densities are optimized.
Constraint: Tower height cannot be varied if IHOPT = 1.
Default: IHOPT = 0 (II.C,IV.B,IV.C-7)
In optimization run, NUMTHT discrete, equally spaced
values of the tower height are tested from THTST to THTEND
(in meters). If NUMTHT = 1, then the tower height is
set equal to THT specified in the REC namelist; THTST and
THTEND need not be specified.
Constraints: THTST 5 THTEND
1 5 NUMTHT 5 20
Default: NUMTHT = 1
THTST = 75.0 (m)
THTEND = 400.0 (m) (1V.C-2,1V.E)
External receivers (IREC = 0 in REC namelist): NUMREC
discrete, equally spaced values of the diameter tested
from WST to WEND (in meters). If NUMREC = 1, the only
value of the diameter considered is that defined by W in
the REC namelist.
Cavity (IREC = 1, 2) and Flat Plate (IREC = 3,d)
Receivers: NUMREC discrete, equally spaced values of
the horizontal dimension of the first aperture or flat
plate, RX(l), tested from WST to WEND (in meters). If
NUMREC = 1, the only value considered is that defined
for RX(1) in the REC namelist.
Constraints: WST 5 WEND
1 5 NUMREC 5 20
Default: NUMREC = 1
WST = 8.0 (m)
WEND = 26.0 (m) (1V.C-3 ,IV.E)
Ezternal receivers (IOPTUM = 1): NUMHTW e ually spaced
values of the receiver height to diameter ratio (HTW)
tested from HTWST to HTWEND. If NUMHTW = 1, only the
ratio defined by H and W in namelist REC is used.
Cavity and flat plate receivers (IOPTUM = 1): NUMHTW
equally spaced values of the ratio of the height to
width, RY(l)/RX(l), of the first cavity or flat plate
tested from HTWST to HTWEND. If NUMHTW = 1, only the
ratio defined by RX(1) and RY(1) on Namelist REC is
used. The width W is held constant.
Cavity receivers (IOPTUM = 2): NUMHTW equally spaced
values of W tested from HTWST to HTWEND. If NUMHTW = 1,
only the W defined by namelist REC is used. The aspect
*For all design/optimization runs, set IPROB = 4 in namelist BASIC.
