Preliminary cost estimates for central-receiver solar-thermal-power systems, 10-MWe pilot-plant program

Technical Report · Mon Mar 01 04:00:00 EST 1976

OSTI ID:5985173

The projected costs, funding, and supporting information are reviewed for the Barstow Solar Pilot Plant. Steady state costs, funding for design and development, investment, and initial operations are presented. Underlying programmatics, groundrules, and assumptions are summarized, and the costing approach is introduced. The major program characteristics that have been used in defining the pilot plant cost estimates are presented. The programmatics include the definition of the overall pilot plant program requirements, a summary of the major features of each subsystem, the major program milestones, program schedule activities, the manufacturing approach, test program definition, and identification of major program support requirements. For each item in the work breakdown structure, the scope of work, cost breakdown, semi-annual funding and schedule plots, and a description that indicates the basis of the costing, including a brief technical description, are given.
