In this article, we will introduce a fully functional smart solar tower mockup. The mockup is based on a new concept to track the Sun and the receiver called
Heliot, a
smart heliostat approach. This approach is based on computer vision and deep learning for object detection using Tensorflow as machine learning framework.,Have a look at the video below to see the smart solar tower power mockup in action.,Energy makes the world go round. Industry, daily life, transportation, communications, all is powered by energy. Industrial developments and population grow have been exponentially rising our need for energy in order to maintain our energy-dependent lifestyles. Fossil fuels are currently our major power supplies, fossil fuels’ market share ranges from 87% to 76%.,However, rising cost, environmental issues and concerns about sustainability are presently encouraging investment and research in alternative sources of energy that may provide clean, renewable, sustainable and efficient energy.
