10-MWe solar-thermal central-receiver pilot plant: solar-facilities design integration. Plant operating/training manual (RADL-Item 2-36)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6798296

Plant and system level operating instructions are provided for the Barstow Solar Pilot Plant. Individual status instructions are given that identify plant conditions, process controller responsibilities, process conditions and control accuracies, operating envelopes, and operator cautions appropriate to the operating condition. Transition operating instructions identify the sequence of activities to be carried out to accomplish the indicated transition. Most transitions involve the startup or shutdown of an individual flowpath. Background information is provided on collector field operations, and the heliostat groupings and specific commands to be used in support receiver startup are defined. (LEW)
