Photovoltaic Luz Flat Tracker power plants

The worldwide increasing energy consumption resulted in a demand for more power plants. One of the challenges countries are facing is the selection of the new power plants technologies. Most developed countries have adopted policies to reduce nuclear and fossil fuel consumption and to increase the renewables energy plant in the following sectors: wind power, hydroelectric, solar thermal, solar thermo-electric, photovoltaic, biomass, biogas and biofuels. When selecting one from various renewable energy, decision-making has to take into consideration several conflicting objectives because of the increasingly complex social, economic, technological, and environmental factors that are present. This paper presents a new configuration of photovoltaic power plants LFT-Luz Flat Tracker, based on independent dual tracking heliostats and remote smart control by wireless communication. In additional this paper raise the challenges in using the LFT and the wireless communication in order to cost reduction.
