This paper reviews the results of engineering studies for an International Energy Agency (IEA) project for the design and construction of a 500-kWe (net) solar thermal-electric power generation system of the distributed collector system (DCS) type. The project is part of the IEA Small Solar Power System (SSPS) Project, and is being constructed as a demonstration plant in the province of Almeria in southern Spain. The DCS system design was completed by a 10 nation team. Construction is presently underway. The design consists of a mixed field of parabolic trough-type solar collectors of both German and U.S. design which are used to heat a thermal heat transfer oil.
