Collector-field-layout specification (RADL Item 2-12). 10-MWe solar-thermal central-receiver pilot plant: solar facilities design integration

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7101783

Layout requirements and constraints are defined for all permanent foundations, facilities, and equipment located in the collector field of the Barstow Solar Pilot Plant. Also discussed are the equipment pads and environmental shelters because of their potential physical interaction with other elements of the collector field. A diagram of the collector field is given, and the coordinates of each heliostat are given. For traceability purposes, the 150 heliostats deleted from the original heliostat field and an additional 50 future growth heliostats are identified. Also contained are the location requirements for a variety of collector field equipment involving meteorological stations, instrumented heliostats, and additional pyranometers used to gather cloud passage data.
