Review of optical software for use in concentrating solar power systems. Bode, S. & Gauché, P. 2012. abstract bibtex A review of the main software tools used in the optical design, analysis and optimisation of central receivers systems has been performed. The review was performed using all the resources available to a post graduate researcher. The functionality of the codes was explored and it was found that the codes could be divided into two broad categories: those used to analyse and optimise field lay out and those capable o f accurately simulating the flux incident on the receiver from one or more heliostats . As of yet, no code reviewed can perform both tasks. Emphasis was placed on the availability of the codes . I t was found the Biom imetic and CRS4 - 2 codes were unavailable , HFLD and TieSOL can be purchased commercially/academically , SPRAY, STRAL and HFLCAL can be purchased commercially or possibly obtained through colla boration , SolTrace is free to download and use and Tonatiuh is open sour ce . Th e possibility of writing one ’ s own code was also explored
