ABSTRACT:
The Veda Report is a comparison of the dispersed heliostat field with a unified heliostat array with application of the unified heliostat array to chemical energy storage. The-proposed array consists of a group of closely spaced heliostat elements mounted on a sloping south face of a

single structure. The structure will be designed with mounting floors for the heliostat pedestals as shown in Figure IIIA. Details of a heliostat arrangement are shown in Figure nm. A conceptual drawing of the entire structure is shown in Figure me. Equatorial mountings for the heliostat elements will provide a two axis tracking capability. Although each element will be set at a slightly different angle from all other elements, the drive devices may be ganged, since the units will all turn at one half the apparent sun rate, one rate about the polar axis, the other about the declination axis.
