The construction of a new power system mainly based on new energy is an important measure for China to realize the goal of "carbon peak" and "carbon neutrality". Tower solar photovoltaic power generation is a new type of low-carbon and environmentally friendly clean energy technology. In this paper, the position of the absorber tower, the size of each heliostat, the installation height and the position of the heliostat field of the tower-type photovoltaic power plant are investigated through the establishment of a model, and an optical efficiency model based on geometrical optics and coordinate transformation is established.
