A stochastic approach to generate and simulate solar field designs
This code was part of my master thesis written back in 2014. It is based on the paper A conceptual design of solar boiler (2009), published by some of the professors at the department of energy engineering at the school of industrial engineering (Polytechnical university of Madrid, UPM).
It is a concept of solar thermal power plant that aims to recycle the knowledge of a century using fossil fuel boilers to produce electrical energy, substituting the conventional fuel totally or partially with solar energy.
This project aimed to give an answer to how a solar field that feeds this kind of power plant should be (number of heliostats, size of the mirrors, size of the land, performance, heliostat distribution...).
