Solar thermal technology annual report: Fiscal year 1987

Technical Report · Thu Sep 01 04:00:00 EDT 1988

OSTI ID:6574825

This annual report describes the accomplishments and progress of government-funded activities initiated, renewed, or completed during Fiscal Year (FY) 1987 (October 1, 1986, through September 30, 1987). It highlights the program tasks conducted by participating federal laboratories and by industrial, academic, or other research under a subcontract. The emphasis of the Solar Thermal Technology Program during the year was (1) to perform research and development leading to the economic viability of two primary solar thermal concepts, central receiver and parabolic dish, and (2) to explore applications of national significance where the special attributes of concentrated sunlight are appropriate. The report includes three appendices that cover principal contacts and sources of additional information (Appendix A), acronyms and abbreviations (Appendix B), and a glossary of terms (Appendix C). A bibliography of relevant publications from Sandia National Laboratories and the Solar Energy Research Institute completes this annual report.
