The development of a low cost thermal energy storage subsystem for large solar plants is described. Molten nitrate salt is used as both the solar plant working fluid and the storage medium. Described are a preliminary design for a large commercial-size plant (1200 MWht), a laboratory test program for the critical components, and the design, construction, and test of a small scale (7 MWht) research experiment at the Central Receiver Test Facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
