Pattern-free heliostat layout optimization using a modified Artificial Bee Colony Algorithms: Comparison between staggered and spiral layouts

•Novel Pattern-Free Heliostat Field Optimization by introducing a pattern-free layout optimization method using a modified Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm.•Demonstrates, for the first time, that pattern-free optimization can be effectively applied to spiral heliostat fields.•Validates the appr...
