Summary
The Heliostat and Receiver Measurement System (HERMES) is designed to evaluate the radiant flux distribution in front of a receiver aperture plane. The results of the Fall Measurement Campaign in 1982 on the SSPS-CRS power plant are presented in this paper. The incident power, its distribution, and by that the heliostat field and receiver efficiencies were measured. Besides the centroid of the flux distribution, energy versus radius, iso-flux contours, intensity cross sections and 3-D intensity diagrams were determined by the data map. The experimental results are compared with theoretical calculations and the HELIOS computer code.
