OSTI ID:6638208

The Barstow Pilot Plant is designed to emulate a 100 MWe commercial power plant in as many aspects as possible, while still providing experience with realistic components. A radial-stagger array of 1818 heliostats has been defined for the Pilot Plant, subject to the site specific constraints, which retains all the characteristics of a commercial scale surround field.
