Lam, E. Y.

A solar central receiver hybrid power system concept which uses a gas turbine/heat recovery steam generator/steam turbine combined cycle to generate electricity from both solar and fossil fuel energy is described. The concept description dwells primarily on a near term 100 MWe (net) system that utilizes a state-of-the-art combined cycle with a gas turbine inlet temperature of 1093/sup 0/C (2000/sup 0/F). This system is implementable in the 1985 time frame. An advanced system that uses an inlet temperature of 1316/sup 0/C (2400/sup 0/F) is also described. Performance comparisons of these two systems are given. Major advantages of the system concept as well as its technical issues are highlighted.
