Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5052035

This volume represents the second submittal of CDRL Item 9, Program Plan. It presents the McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company's plan for satisfying all requirements of the Energy Research and Development Administration's Phase 1, Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System Program. The MDAC integrator role includes overall management and the total system integration, collector subsystem tasks, and integration of the thermal storage subsystem. The other team member assignments include Rocketdyne's design, fabrication, and test responsibility for the receiver assembly and thermal storage subsystem. The pilot plant receiver tower and riser/downcomer design, electrical power generation subsystem design, and environmental impact data will be provided by Stearns-Roger, Inc. Collector field optimization will be achieved by the University of Houston. Sheldahl will support the pilot plant heliostat reflective surface design and provide the protective coating for the SRE mirrors. The MDAC program plan presented describes in WBS format the approach to be taken to perform all statement of work tasks. Team members have been identified in the tasks to which they will contribute. All program schedules are presented, and the expanded organization chart for Phase 1 is included.
