Solar Total Energy Project, Shenandoah, Georgia site. Annual technical progress report, July 1, 1982-June 30, 1983
A part of the National Solar Thermal Energy Program, initially funded by DOE, the Shenandoah Project, is the world's largest industrial application of the solar total energy concept. The objective of the Project is to evaluate a solar total energy system that provides electrical power, process steam, and air conditioning for a knit-wear factory (operated by Bleyle of America, Inc.). During normal operation, solar energy generates a large part of the electricity and displaces part of the fossil fuels normally used to run the factory and produce the clothing. Construction of the system was completed early in 1982, when operations were initiated. Solution of unexpected electrical and mechanical problems produced significant information for subsequent system designs. An overview of the Project and a brief System Description is presented following a chronological summary of progress. A discussion of varius anomalies, together with subsequent high quality solar and thermodynamic system performance results, is then discussed.
