Integrated photovoltaic central station conceptual designs. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6710248
Conceptual designs are presented for 100 MW photovoltaic central stations using fixed flat plate, one-axis tracking flat plate, two-axis tracking flat plate, and two-axis tracking high concentration collectors. Designs developed were for specific sites in the southwestern and southeastern United States, and were predicated on mid-1990 plant startup. Estimates of system performance and balance-of-system cost were developed, and cost and efficiency requirements for photovoltaic laminates (unframed modules) and concentrator collectors were derived. Results indicate that all four system types appear potentially viable in the Southwest; fixed and one-axis tracking flat plate concepts appear the best alternatives for the Southeast.
