Weber, E. R.

This specification defines the system and subsystem characteristics, design requirements, and system environmental requirements for the Saguaro Power Plant Solar Repowering Project. This project involves the solar repowering of all (120.2 MWe gross) of the 115 MWe net power No. One steam-Rankine unit of the Arizona Public Service Company's Saguaro station. The receiver heat transport fluid is draw salt (60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate) that is also used to provide 3.8 hours of sensible heat thermal energy storage. The quad-cavity type receiver is mounted on a tower within a single surrounding collector field of 10,500 second generation heliostats.
