ABSTRACT:
The design that is proposed as a result of Phase I meets or exceeds all of the Technical Requirements of the Contract. We believe it is noteworthy that the central receiver concept developed by Black & Veatch during Phase I has the potential of achieving higher working fluid temperatures

and, thus, higher thermodynamic efficiencies than any other solar thermal concept. Also, except for the heliostats, all components and fluids of the proposed design have demonstrated reliable long-life operation under similar operating conditions. Even the heliostats are well developed: more than 200 of the type proposed for this project have already been manufactured by Martin Marietta. This is about twice the number required for a 150 MWe deep well irrigation unit. Show Less
