SEGS VI circulates the solar field HTF 24 hours per day to minimize thermal shocks to the trough receiver tubes and HTF pumps. This results in a relatively high off-line parasitic load. Based on this analysis, the trough spreadsheet performance model appears to be an appropriate tool for modeling the performance of parabolic trough power plants. The input parameters can be changed to reflect design changes in plant design. Although the model includes thermal storage, this module has not been validated against a real plant; however, the module appears to be functioning correctly based on the output from the model.

The model is a based largely on input from FSI, which supplied the mirrors for all of the Luz plants, and has been actively working to promote parabolic trough plants since Luz’s bankruptcy in 1991 [2]. FSI has developed a detailed cost model based initially on the cost data from the Luz SEGS X project and later updated with more recent vendor quotes [7]. FSI provided cost data to NREL as part of its participation in the 1998 Parabolic Trough Road-Mapping Workshop [8] and updated the solar field costs under contract to 300 400 3 Parasitic Load (MWhe)
