Abstract

Conceptual designs were made and analyses were performed on three types of solar photovoltaic power systems. Included were Residential (1 to 10 kW), Intermediate (0.1 to 10 MW), and Central (50 to 1000 MW) Power Systems to be installed in the 1985 to 2000 time period. Subsystem technology presented here includes: insolation, concentration, silicon solar cell modules, CdS solar cell module, array structure, battery energy storage, power conditioning, residential power system architectural designs, intermediate power system structural design, and central power system facilities and site survey.

Conceptual designs were made and analyses were performed on three types of solar photovoltaic power systems. Included were Residential (1 to 10 kW), Intermediate (0.1 to 10 MW), and Central (50 to 1000 MW) Power Systems to be installed in the 1985 to 2000 time period. The following analyses and simulations are covered: residential power system computer simulations, intermediate power systems computer simulation, central power systems computer simulation, array comparative performance, utility economic and margin analyses, and financial analysis methodology.

Conceptual design and systems analysis of photovoltaic power systems. Volume II. Systems. Revised final report

Pittman, P.F. March 1977

Conceptual designs were made and analyses were performed on three types of solar photovoltaic power systems. Included were Residential (1--10 kW), Intermediate (0.1--10 MW), and Central (50--1000 MW) Power Systems to be installed in the 1985 to 2000 time period. Detailed descriptions of each of the three systems studied, descriptions of the necessary subsystems, and discussions of the interfaces between them are presented. Included also are descriptions of system performance and system cost used to perform an economic analysis which assesses the value of each system.

Conceptual design and system-analysis study for a hybrid solar-photovoltaic/solar-thermal electric-power system. Volume I of III. Final report, executive summary

Not Available July 1981

A description of an analysis of hybrid photovoltaic/solar thermal electric conversion systems is summarized. Several types of hybrid systems, photovoltaic-only systems, and solar thermal electric systems were compared in terms of performance and cost. Generally, hybrid systems are shown to be potentially competitive with photovoltaic-only or solar thermal electric conversion systems, but hybrid systems do not appear to have a significant advantage, on a levelized cost per kilowatt-hour basis.

Not Available July 1981

An analysis was done of hybrid photovoltaic/solar thermal electric conversion systems. The study compared several types of hybrid systems, photovoltaic-only systems, and solar thermal electric systems in terms of performance and cost. This study and its results are reported in detail in Volume II, and are summarized in Volume I. This third volume consists entirely of supporting appendices, including a description of the computer code used in the analyses and background information on heat engines, thermal efficiencies of photovoltaic thermal collectors, and optical considerations for central receiver plants.
