The performance of solar tower systems is closely linked to the aiming point strategy of the heliostats. The optimization process of obtaining the best aiming point strategy for a field is complex and has a high computational cost. The use of the clustering technique relieves the requirements by decreasing the space of possible solutions to the problem. Results show that the application of the technique for aiming point strategy optimization reduces the time of optimization significantly.
