- •
A new method for optimal design of multi-tower heliostat fields is presented.
- •
In the efficiency calculations, shading and blocking efficiency is considered.
- •
As a case study, a multi-tower field is optimally designed using the proposed method.
- •
The multi-tower fields' performance are analyzed and compared with single tower fields.
- •
The proposed method improves heliostats decision-making and the annual efficiency.
