Abstract

Solar heliostat field use a tower and a set of mirrors spread over a precise area. The publications refer to solar energy name the mirror that tracks to the Sun as heliostat. There is yet a theory related to the heliostat tracking. Indeed, there is a set of methods of tracking control based on calculus algorithm. The paper tries to promote a mechanism that implement the reflection function to facilitate the heliostat target orientation. The mechanism should be equipped with a target line sensor. This one must target the Sun.
