OSTI ID:5489069

This report, which is divided into two volumes, documents the accomplishments and progress of the US Department of Energy Solar Thermal Technology (STT) Program during FY 1982, covering the period from October 1, 1981 to September 30, 1982. The focus of the STT Program is research and development leading to the commercial readiness of three primary solar thermal concepts: the central receiver, parabolic dish, and parabolic trough. To a lesser extent, the hemispherical bowl and salt-gradient solar pond are also being studied. This development effort is complemented by numerous research and planning activities. Volume I, the Executive Summary, contains a brief description of each technology and highlights of the fiscal year's technical activities.
