Concentrating solar energy and transforming it into electricity is clean, economical and
renewable. One design of solar power plants consists of an array of heliostats which
redirects sunlight to a fixed receiver tower and the generated heat is converted into
electricity. Currently, the angles of elevation of heliostats are controlled by motors and drives
that are costly and require diverting power that can otherwise be used for producing
electricity. We consider replacing the motor and drive system of the heliostat with a …
