... Graphical Abstract Figure concentrated solar tower thermal energy storage dispatch planning optimization model-predictive control Monte Carlo simulation Solar tower (ST) is a promising technology for large-scale exploitation of solar irradiation for electricity generation. Differently...

... decreases dramatically for shallow angles of incidence, the capture efficiency of a solar tree is hampered little by shallow angles of incidence due to the 3D orientation of the solar leaves. In this paper, high fidelity Monte Carlo simulation of radiation transport is conducted to gain insight into whether...
