Dual charging train testing, while successful, revealed that dual train operation was not often necessary or desirable. Mode 6 testing was demonstrated for both single and dual train operation; stable single train operation was demonstrated at 0.7 MWe (gross). The extractable energy capacity of the Thermal Storage Unit was demonstrated to exceed the design requirements during Mode 6 testing. Show Less
