PSI is produced to drive two traditional turbine-generator sets. A steam Rankine cycle thermodynamic closed loop process is used to transfer and convert solar energy to electric energy. Since starting operation in January 1985 considerable experience has been gained in plant operation and maintenance techniques. Presently a retrofit is underway on the reflective film for the mirror facets, electronic controls update, and selected drive assembly components. Show Less
