Solar total energy: large scale experiment No. 2. Phase II. Conceptual design. Final report. [For Bleyle knitwear mill in Shenandoah, Georgia]
The design and systems analysis of a solar total energy system (STES) for the Bleyle knitwear mill in Shenandoah, Georgia, are presented. The Bleyle plant is 42,000 ft/sup 2/ and the peak loads are 383 kW electric, 674 kW process steam, 850 kW cooling, and 84 kW heating. The system is sized for the full plant electrical and thermal requirements on a clear day in July. The selected system incorporates a distributed collector/central generation system using parabolic dish collectors. A steam Rankine cycle power conversion system with extraction turbine/backpressure and condensing was selected. Therminol 66 will be the baseline heat transfer fluid for the solar collector field and thermal energy storage system (a rock and trickle oil system). Two-tank pressurized water storage will be used for low-temperature storage. A site requirements analysis is presented including site description, insolation methodology, and load analysis. A life-cycle cost analysis, energy displacement analysis, legal compliance study, health and safety analysis, environmental assessment, and utilities interface study are included. The overall project plan including schedules and costs is presented. (WHK)
