Meteorological station requirements specification (RADL Item 7-19)

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6377935· OSTI ID:6377935
The meteorological parameters are identified which affect plant operation and performance evaluation and support special collector field studies such as wind/heliostat structural and cloud/collector field interactions. The identification of the instruments required to measure those parameters and the instrument locations are included, and designs are suggested for integrating the hardware into the collector field. All meteorological related equipment up to the signal input to the Data Acquisition System (DAS) of the Master Control System (MCS) computer is included. Operational and survival environmental conditions, maintenance, and spares requirements are discussed. Manufacturer-supplied information on the major hardware of interest is compiled.
