Special Issue on Heliostat Technologies for Concentrating Solar-Thermal Power

Journal of Solar Energy Engineering

Submit Paper

This special issue will connect the ASME Journal of Solar Energy Engineering (JSEE) and researchers developing heliostat technologies for concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP). The special issue invites papers on new, emerging applications and/or applying these technologies to enable the manufacture of new products by a collection of scholarly articles within the JSEE scope. It provides an opportunity for the global CSP community to present original theoretical and applied research.
