Commercial research for Heliogen

PERFORMANCE CONTINGENCY ANALYSISDevelopment of a general tool for estimation of contingency allowances in case of performance uncertainty. For example, if the slope error of a heliostat field is less than intended, how can the design be modified in construction to correct for that, and at what potential cost? How can a range of such uncertainties be accommodated together, in a probabilistic way?SURROGATE MODELLING OF AIR-ROCK PACKED BED STORAGEA fast and efficient approach for modelling and designing air-rock packed bed storage is to be developed, using surrogate modelling methods.
