10-MWe solar-thermal central-receiver pilot plant: thermal-storage-subsystem evaluation - subsystem activation and controls testing phase
This report evaluates data taken on the Thermal Storage Subsystem at Solar One, the 10 MWe Solar Central Receiver Pilot Plant near Daggett, California. The period covered is the activation and initial controls testing phases from May 5, 1982, through September 30, 1982. The data show the system has been operated frequently, accepting and returning thermal energy as designed. The thermal storage tank wall stresses are low, thermal degradation and losses of heat transfer oil are minimal, and solar-related hardware problems that occurred were resolved.
