It is demonstrated that the solar power plant meets the requirements both for straight solar and constant load operation with fossil fuel substitution. In order to establish the possiblities of attaining high part-load efficiencies in straight solar operation, two modes, variable and constant speed of the gas turbine, are compared with one another. 7 refs.
