The research and development described in this document were conducted within the US Department of Energy's 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. This bibliography cites, with a few additions, all the documents that were published by, or sponsored by, Sandia National Laboratories in support of the Department of Energy's Solar Thermal Technology Program and its Distributed Receiver Project. The timing of this updated bibliography is important because it marks the end of an era in which distributed receiver and central receiver research and development were pursued separately. At the beginning of fiscal year 1989, the Department of Energy initiated a restructured solar thermal research and development strategy. The new program is mission oriented, with core technology development activities supporting the missions. For instance, the advanced electric technology mission has an objective to organize industry, user, and government consortia that will field competitive next-generation solar thermal electric system experiments within five years--regardless of whether the systems are distributed or central receivers; and the concentrator development core activity will develop optical materials and concentrators regardless of application.
