Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume VI. Electrical power generation/master control subsystems and balance of plant. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]
Design information covering the Electric Power Generation Subsystem (EPGS), the Balance of Plant (BOP) and the Master Control Subsystem (MCS) for both the 150-MW commercial scale and the 10-MW Pilot Plant scale solar-thermal electric generating stations is presented. The EPGS serves to convert, by way of a conventional steam turbine-generator, the thermal energy delivered from the receiver into electrical power useful in an electric power distribution grid. For the commercial scale EPGS, a conceptual design covering major design features was conducted to assure the feasibility of the concept and the availability of required components. For the Pilot Plant EPGS, a preliminary design which covers equipment design and selection in greater depth was prepared. For purposes of this study, the BOP includes the equipment and structures required to support the power generating functions and to integrate the solar subsystems into a total plant. Included in this category are such items as overall plant arrangement, design of buildings and structures, and numerous coordination details normally associated with architects and engineers. As with the EPGS design, the commercial BOP has been explored to a conceptual level, giving confidence that the plant can be built using available techniques and technology. The MCS acts as the overall control system for the Commercial and Pilot Plants. Its function is to coordinate the actions of the various subsystems (collector, receiver, EPGS, etc.), and maintain data records useful in analyzing plant operations. (WHK)
