Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6476360· OSTI ID:6476360
This summary level report was prepared by the DOE Solar Ten Megawatt Project Office (STMPO) to: (1) briefly describe the Pilot Plant; (2) provide design and fabrication lessons learned for future industrial developers; and (3) identify a bibliography of project reports and contacts for detailed reference. The time period covered is from the completion of conceptual design in 1977 through completion of construction and achievement of Turbine Roll on April 12, 1982, whereby solar generated electric power was first fed to the utility grid. A listing of currently available contacts and reports from each participating organization is included in the bibliography.
