Title: Combined cycle solar central receiver hybrid power system study. Volume I. Executive summary. Final technical report

Abstract

The results of the Combined Cycle Solar Hybrid Power System Study Project are summarized in this Executive Summary. The project is part of the US Department of Energy's Solar Central Receiver Hybrid Power System program. The major effort of the project was development and assessment of a commercial-scale power plant concept where both solar energy and fossil fuel are used to generate electricity. This so called hybrid concept was developed around a combined cycle gas turbine/steam turbine power plant. The scope of the study project included a market analysis, and parametric and system studies, leading to a comparative evaluation of the Modified Strawman and Advanced Strawman systems. (WHK)
