The central receiver system consists of a field of heliostats, a central receiver, a thermal storage unit, an electrical power generation system, and balance of plant. This volume discusses the collector field
Thermal energy storage for solar thermal power plants offers the potential to deliver electricity without fossil fuel backup as well as to meet peak demand, independent of weather fluctuations.
The design, performance, systems analysis, and cost of the collector subsystem, receiver subsystem, storage subsystem, and electrical generation subsystem are reported in detail.
The conception, design, and testing of the receiver subsystem proposed by the McDonnell Douglas/Rocketdyne Receiver team for the DOE 10-MW Pilot Plant and the 100-MW Commercial
Electrical Power Generation and Master Control Subsystems and Balance of Plant. The requirements, performance, and subsystem configuration for both the Commercial and Pilot Plant electrical power
Design of Solar Thermal Power Plants introduces the basic design methods of solar thermal power plants for technicians engaged in solar thermal power generation engineering.
This report includes preliminary designs and cost estimates for molten salt thermocline systems with capacities ranging from pilot scale to commercial scale. Thermal and system level modeling was
The current definition of a 10-MWe pilot plant preliminary design base line is presented, as well as a summary of a 100-MWe commercial plant base line. The subsystems described for the plants include
This volume contains a description of the relationship of the electrical power generation subsystem to the rest of the plant, the design methodology and evolution, the interface integration and control, and
