Central-receiver solar-thermal power system. Collector subsystem quarterly technical progress report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6376673
The preliminary design baseline collector subsystem for a 10 MW/sub e/ solar thermal Pilot Plant is described. Design studies aimed at establishing th heliostat field geometry, and the detailed configuration of the protective enclosure assembly, reflective assembly, and drive and control assembly are reported. Results of thermal design analyses are provided. The testing to be implemented during development, assembly, integration and array testing of the collector subsystem research experiment hardware is described, and the test objectives and testing sequence are given. These include component and material test, assembly and integration tests, and array tests. Results of completed tests are given. (LEW)
