Closed Brayton cycle advanced central receiver solar-electric power system. Volume II. Evaluation, selection, conceptual design, and assessment of a closed Brayton cycle advanced central receiver solar-electric power plant with coupled sensible heat storage. Final report, September 30, 1977-November 30, 1978
The performance and design requirements for one type of terrestrial solar thermal electric power system are described. Each of the system's major subsystems are analyzed in terms of concept and performance. The method of selecting the preferred commercial-scale system is described. The preferred commercial system conceptual design is described, and its technical and cost performance evaluated. Comments on the preferred commercial system from certain electric utilities are summarized. Finally, potential improvements to improve the performance and reduce the capital cost of the system are reviewed, and possible limitations to the development of the system are examined. Appendices provide details on certain analytic techniques, cost and performance data.
