Beside the plant geometries of the tower height, heliostat dimensions, field layout, and the optical properties, the quality of these two values depends on the heliostat field efficiency, which outlined in the mirror tilt angle cosine effect, reflected rays' spillage loss, heliostat distribution blocking and shadowing and tracking control error. To investigate the annual heat flux collecting quantity and distribution for an experimental field, distributed and located in Universiti Teknologi Petronas, a detailed dual axis tracking model is elaborated herein. © 2006-2016 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN). date: 2016 publisher: Asian Research Publishing Network official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85007189998&partnerID=40&md5=5121ed029982b526591432f1b3ce510a full_text_status: none publication: ARPN Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences volume: 11 number: 22 pagerange: 13344-13347 refereed: TRUE issn: 18196608 citation: Ali, B.H. and Gilani, S.I. and Al-Kayiem, H.H. and Khlief, A.K.
