Heliostat field control system architecture and implementation using C#, PostgreSQL, C++, Python, MQTT, gRPC, Modbus, RS-485, TCP/IP, GigE, etc. Worked on all aspects including kinematics, ML computer vision calibration system, tracking control, 3D visualization, and radiometric flux estimation.

Heliogen is a clean energy company focused on eliminating the need for fossil fuels in all sectors of the economy. Heliogen’s mission is to create the world’s first technology that can commercially replace fossil fuels in industrial processes with carbon-free, ultra-high temperature heat from the sun and to transform sunlight into fuels, including hydrogen, at scale. Heliogen was created at Idealab, the leading technology incubator.

Concentrating solar power and tracking photovoltaic control system architecture and implementation using C#, PostgreSQL, WCF, WPF, Modbus, GigE, etc. Custom heliostat kinematics and patented computer vision calibration system.
