ABSTRACT:
Each of the heliostats forming the mirror field of a solar thermal power plant with central tower will generate an image of the sun on the entrance of the central radiation receiver. The quantitative determination of the integral power within this image and its distribution is necessary to

check the performance of the mirror array as well as the efficiency of the receiver and the subsequent thermodynamic process. At the solar power plant built by the IEA near Almeria (Spain), a part of this problem is to be solved by viewing the brightness of white surface elements on a movable traverse scanning the image in the entrance area of the receiver cavity.
