ABSTRACT:
The Solar Thermal Electric Annual Energy Calculator (STEAEC) is a computer model which estimates the annual performance of a solar thermal electric power plant. Written in FORTRAN IV for the CDC 6600, STEAEC is a quasi-steady state model with a constant (but user-variable) time step.

Factors such as energy losses and delays incurred in start-up, effects of ambient weather conditions on plant operation and efficiency, effects of hold time and charge and discharge rates on deliverable energy in storage, subsystem • maximum and minimum power limits, and auxiliary power requirements are taken into account in the computation of the annual electrical output of the plant. Default parameters may be easily modified through the use of NAMELIST inputs. Show Less
