Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume 1. Executive overview. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]
An overview of the design and operation of the 150 MWe commercial plant and the 10 MWe pilot plant is given. The commercial plant consists of 15 integrated collector--receiver modules. Each module contains 1554 heliostats and an internally mounted steam-generating receiver on a steel tower with an aperture height of 90 m. The pilot plant consists of one full-scale collector--receiver module. The two-stage sensible heat storage system utilizes a heat transfer salt medium and a hydrocarbon oil storage medium. The electric power generation system uses a conventional steam turbine-generator. The pilot plant is one module of the commercial plant, providing for one-to-one scaling in the most critical areas.
