Fig. 6From: Dish layouts analysis method for concentrative solar power plantRepresentation of dish layout generated by introducing shifting s and rotating angle \(\theta\) from the base layout, i.e., regular spacing lattice with column distance \(\delta x\) pointing to the East, and row distance \(\delta y\) pointing to the North (a). b Shift each column by s; c rotate anticlockwise by \(\theta\). d In order to keep the land cover ratio constant, scaling parameter \(\gamma\) is introduce to elongate the column and row distancesBack to article page
