Modular Trough Power Plant Cycle and Systems Analysis

Building Technologies and Science Center

Research output: NREL › Technical Report

Abstract

This report summarizes an analysis to reduce the cost of power production from modular concentrating solar power plants through a relatively new and exciting concept that merges two mature technologies to produce distributed modular electric power in the range of 500 to 1,500 kWe. These are the organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power plant and the concentrating solar parabolic (CSP) trough technologiesthat have been developed independent of each other over many years.
