provide continued demand for design and fabrication of central receiver components (e.g., receivers and heliostats), and will also supply economic data which could be the basis for some initial, privately funded commercial applications of central receiver technology. These projects are essential steps toward commercialization. The following pages briefly summarize each of the utility repowering/industrial retrofit conceptual design projects. These summaries include the PNM repowering study already completed and the 13 project studies (including the privately funded study) currently underway. The conceptual designs are representative of actual plants that could be constructed if funding were approved. Show Less
