Researching aerodynamic wind loads on heliostats in the wind tunnel at the University of Adelaide (the second largest in Australia). To reduce the cost of heliostats and design a reliable and cost-effective heliostat, a deep knowledge of wind load effects on heliostat components and their structural response is required. In this research, the heliostat structure and heliostat field flow under dynamic wind loads will be investigated.
