It is proposed to manufacture a high temperature (up to 700°C) pilot plant based on paraboloidal mirror collectors. The proposed collectors are novel and their demonstration would represent a significant contribution to the field of study in solar power generation. In addition they will

constitute an important research tool in their own right enabling further experimental work in several aspects of solar energy collection and utilization. The total cost of the pilot plant, of some one hundred square meters collection area, is $87,300. In addition 18man months of school workshop time will be required. A large fraction of this cost is for tooling and is therefore a once-only component. It is proposed that the costs be shared by the ANU and a sponsor. Show Less
