Solar Pilot Plant, Phase 1. Detailed design report: steam generator subsystem research experiment

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5248796

The steam generator test item, test facility, and test equipment for the solar pilot plant in Barstow are presented. The experiment's objective is to validate the base line design of the steam generator, and to minimize high risk issues. The general characteristics of the steam generator, and the detailed design of the major components are described and illustrated. A steady-state functional performance analysis is presented that makes use of design methods to configure the steam generator and to provide design and operating criteria. Also, a transient analysis was performed which considered cold startup, hot startup, heat input ramp, and cloud disturbance. A stress analysis was performed to verify structural adequacy of the steam generator. The test facility to be used and the test plans and schedules are described. (LEW)
