OSTI ID:5573984
Verification testing of the organic Rankine-cycle (ORC) power conversion assembly at the JPL Parabolic Dish Test Site, Edwards Air Force Base, California, was completed on March 26, 1982. Qualification testing of the electrical transport subsystem was also completed. Test objectives were to verify compatibility of all system elements with emphasis on control of the power conversion assembly, to evaluate the performance and efficiency of the components, and to validate operating procedures. The tests at the PDTS satisfied all these objectives. After 34 hours of power generation under a wide range of conditions, the net module efficiency (from sun to electricity out) exceeded 18% after accounting for all parasitic losses.
