In solar tower plants, radiation losses between the heliostat field and the receiver occur due to atmospheric extinction which varies with site and time. Currently, atmospheric extinction is usually approximated using a few constant standard atmospheric conditions in ray-tracing and plant optimization tools. Some tools allow the input of time dependent extinction data, but such site specific data...
Solar radiation reflected by concentrating mirrors is attenuated due to atmospheric extinction as it travels to the receiver of a solar tower plant. The lack of information on the magnitude of extinction increases the uncertainties in yield analysis and tower plant design. In-situ measurements of atmospheric extinction as well as measurement correction methods have been recently performed and developed...
