OSTI ID:5281375
The U.S. Department of Energy is actively engaged in the construction of America's first Solar Thermal Electric Power Plant at Barstow, California. Detail design activities were carried out for a thermal storage device that allows for the generation of power during periods of intermittent clouds and following sundown. The thermal storage subsystem was fabricated and successfully activated at Barstow.
