Description

As the agency reported it.

Specific goals for this project include: develop a standard-length parabolic trough receiver prototype that is ready for future testing on sun. Develop a scalable and cost-effective process suitable for a future pilot manufacturing line (~10 MW/YR capacity). Show that performance, lifetime, and cost of the design is consistent with the goal of $0.05/KWH given expected improvements in non-receiver costs (e.g., increases overall plant efficiency by 20-30%, increases capex of existing receivers by 5%, maintains current o & m). Identify key partners for a MW-scale pilot demonstration plant, including process heat markets and drop-in replacement for existing plants (PTC/oil).
