Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1. CDRL Item 10. Third quarterly technical progress report, 1 April 1976--30 June 1976. [10 MW]
Results of analysis and design efforts by McDonnell Douglas Astronautics Company (MDAC), Rocketdyne, Stearns-Roger, Inc., Sheldahl, Inc., and the University of Houston between 1 April 1976 and 30 June 1976 on ERDA Contract No. EY-76-C-03-1108 are summarized. This is the third quarterly technical progress report published on the Phase 1 Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System contract. The dominant activities during the reporting period have involved the preparation of test facilities for the subsystem research experiments and the fabrication of the test hardware. Summaries of these activities are presented. Alternative design approaches for the 10-MWe pilot plant system and the current pilot plant project schedule are also presented and described.
