Solar thermal energy systems. Program summary, fiscal year 1985
The research and development (R and D) described in this document was conducted within the US Department of Energy's (DOE) Solar Thermal Technology Program. The goal of the Solar Thermal Technology Program is to advance the engineering and scientific understanding of solar thermal technology, and to establish the technology base from which private industry can develop solar thermal power production options for introduction into the competitive energy market. Research areas emphasized include central receivers, distributed receivers and solar thermal materials. This program summary highlights tasks conducted by the participating national laboratories under contract by industrial, academic, or other research institutions. This summary covers activities initiated, renewed, or completed during Fiscal Year 1985 (October 1, 1984 through September 30, 1985). This document includes introductory information, a list of directing organizations, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, and an index of current contractors. It also includes individual activity summary sheets, grouped by directing organizations and a list of FY 1985 publications.
