Use Case Diagram Solar Thermal Plant Design
System Architecture Solar Thermal Plant Design
Problem Specifications • Equation of the plane. • Mirror co-ordinates in absolute coordinate system. • Compute the sun’s position. • Projections of the source on the target mirror. • Intersection of the target mirror and the projected plane. Solar Thermal Plant Design
Algorithm • Select mirror. • Convert to absolute co-ordinate system. • 2 Rotations • 1 Translation • Find neighboring mirror positions. • Projection by rayPlane ( Java3D) • Intersection using Clip ( Java3D) Solar Thermal Plant Design
Flowchart Solar Thermal Plant Design
User Interface • Populating longitude and latitude. • Dynamically storing the new locations. • Professional web application. • Integrating several pages. • Proper demarcation of steps. Solar Thermal Plant Design
User Interface • JavaScript and CSS changes. • Content is central driven. • Code clean-up. • Make pages look alike. • Removal of unnecessary button clicks. Solar Thermal Plant Design
Shading and Blocking • A field of heliostats suffers losses. • Considering neighboring heliostats. • Calculated for ∆R and ∆Az. • ∆R is the radial spacing. • ∆Az is the Azimuthal spacing. Solar Thermal Plant Design
Java3D Utilities • Encapsulates the graphic programming • Real and object oriented concept • Utilities supports functionalities. • rayPlane utility for projection. • Clip utility for intersection. Solar Thermal Plant Design
Implementation Issues • Integrating Java3D utilities. • Running applets in our web browser. • Linking j3d jars with some .dll files. Solar Thermal Plant Design
Progress • Work Done: • User Interface Improvements. • Research on shading and blocking. • Derived formulas. • Implementation of formulas. • Derived projection points. Solar Thermal Plant Design
Progress • Future Work: • Derive intersection area. • Integrating the Clip utility (Java3D). • Storing values. Solar Thermal Plant Design
