Solar Cogeneration Facility: Cimarron River Station, Central Telephone and Utilities-Western Power. Final report
A site-specific conceptual design and evaluation of a solar central receiver system integrated with an existing cogeneration facility are described. The cogeneration facility studied is the Central Telephone and Utilities-Western Power (CTU-WP) Cimarron River Station (CRS) located near Liberal, Kansas. The CRS generates electricity for the CTU-WP system and delivers a portion of that electricity and process steam to the National Helium Corporation natural gas processing plant, located adjacent to CRS. Early in the project, tradeoff studies were performed to establish key system characteristics. As a result of these studies the use of energy storage was eliminated, the size of the solar facility was established at 37.13 MW/sub t/, and other site-specific features were selected. The conceptual design addressed critical components and system interfaces. The result is a hybrid solar/fossil central receiver facility which utilizes a collector system of DOE second generation heliostats.
