Central-receiver solar-thermal power system. Collector subsystem research experiments. Conceptual design report
The research experiment conceptual design and tests were planned to provide design verification and supporting data, with test hardware which either duplicates or closely simulates the Pilot Plant preliminary design baseline. The conceptual design of the research experiment hardware, test plans and preliminary test results are presented. The conceptual design collector subsystem includes a reflective assembly, a transparent enclosure assembly, and a drive and control assembly, each of which is described. The temperature relationships between various components of the heliostat are given for a steady state environment as a function of outside ambient temperature, and component temperature variations throughout a daily cycle are given.
