Supplemental spares plan: heliostat field subsystem for 10 megawatt solar power systems/central receiver system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6906872
All components/parts of the heliostat system were designed and selected for long life. Only a few electrical items and the mirror module doublers had to be replaced/repaired during installation, test, and final checkout. After all initial failures are identified and corrected, daily routine operation should be relatively trouble-free. The 93 heliostats installed in Spain have been operational for four months, with only four electrical failures. Table I gives a listing of all components used, spares provided, additional spares recommended, estimated lead time, and source. Table II gives a listing of manufacturer/supplier addresses for each component.
