ABSTRACT:
This document was prepared by the Solar Energy Research Institute (SERI). The objective of this report is to identify and assess alternative contract and communication subelements for heliostats tha2have the potential to react ~$15/m of heliostat mirror area. The cost goal of $15/m

compares with the $50/m for communication an1 control at the Solar One facility in Barstow, Calif., and with estimates of about $25/m for second-generation systems. To achieve the cost goal the primary objectives are ( l) to identify and (2) to assess the technical feasibility of alternative approaches to heliostat communication and control systems.
