Central receiver solar thermal power system, Phase 1. Pilot plant cost and commercial plant cost and performance preliminary design report. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]

Technical Report

Detailed cost and performance data for the 10 MWe Pilot Plant and the 150 MWe Commercial Plant are given. The Commercial Plant consists of 15 integrated collector - receiver modules. Each module contains 1325 heliostats and an internally mounted steam-generating receiver on a steel tower with an aperture height of 90 M. The Pilot Plant consists of one full-scale collector - receiver module. The two-stage sensible heat storage system utilizes a heat transfer salt medium and a hydrocarbon oil storage medium. The electric power generation system uses a conventional steam turbine-generator. The Pilot Plant is one module of the Commercialmore »« less

Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume II. System description and system analysis. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]

Technical Report

System descriptions of the planned 150 MWe commercial plant and the 10 MWe pilot plant are given. The commercial plant consists of 15 integrated collector--receiver modules featuring cavity receiver steam generators, focused heliostats, north field collector geometry, moderate slant ranges, and a short tower. Each module contains 1554 heliostats with a total mirror area of 63,666 m/sup 2/ and an internally mounted receiver on a steel tower with an aperture height of 90 m. The pilot plant configuration includes one full collector-receiver module of the commercial plant. The two stage thermal storage uses sensible heat for storage. The storage materials,more »« less

Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume IV. Receiver subsystem. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]

Technical Report

The design, performance, operational characteristics, testing, and environmental impact of the commercial/pilot plant receivers are presented. The commercial-plant receiver subsystem consists of 15 identical tower-mounted steam-generating receivers. Each receiver is designed to accept energy from a concentrating solar-collector field consisting of 1554 heliostats, each with 41 m/sup 2/ (441 ft/sup 2/) of reflective surface area. The steam output of each receiver module feeds a common manifold system from which either the Electrical Power Generation Subsystem (EPGS) or the Thermal Storage Subsystem (TSS) can be served. The plant can operate quite efficiently with one or more receivers inoperative. Each receiver ismore »« less
Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume VI. Electrical power generation/master control subsystems and balance of plant. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]

Technical Report

Design information covering the Electric Power Generation Subsystem (EPGS), the Balance of Plant (BOP) and the Master Control Subsystem (MCS) for both the 150-MW commercial scale and the 10-MW Pilot Plant scale solar-thermal electric generating stations is presented. The EPGS serves to convert, by way of a conventional steam turbine-generator, the thermal energy delivered from the receiver into electrical power useful in an electric power distribution grid. For the commercial scale EPGS, a conceptual design covering major design features was conducted to assure the feasibility of the concept and the availability of required components. For the Pilot Plant EPGS, amore »« less

Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System, Phase 1: preliminary design report. Volume V. Thermal storage subsystem. [150 MW commercial tower focus plant and 10 MW pilot plant]

Technical Report

The design, construction, and testing of a two stage thermal storage system for the 150 MW commercial tower focus plant and the 10 MW pilot plant are described. The higher temperature stage stores steam superheat energy as sensible heat in a heat transfer salt medium and the lower temperature stage stores steam latent heat energy and condensate sensible heat in a hydrocarbon oil storage medium. The system is designed to accept thermal energy in the form of a superheated steam from the Receiver Subsystem, store the energy for a period of time up to 20 hours, then supply the storedmore »« less
