Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume III. Collector subsystem. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5359330
The collector subsystem for the 150 MWe commercial plant will consist of 15 pilot plant tower focus collector fields. Each field will consist of 1554 heliostats; each heliostat in turn carries 41 m/sup 2/ of reflective surface. The total reflective surface for the commercial plant is therefore 995,016 m/sup 2/. The design, performance, and supporting technical discussion for the collector subsystem for the 150 MWe commercial plant and the 10 MWe pilot plant are presented. Also, a program to test the various components and assemblies to substantiate the design of the heliostat is described in detail. The results either verified or modified the computer models used in the preliminary pilot plant and commercial plant designs. (WHK)
