Parabolic-Trough Technology Roadmap January 1999 TECHNOLOGY VISION Based on the market and technology information provided above, the participants at the trough roadmap workshop created a vision for sustained development and deployment of parabolic-trough technology. The sections below highlight the key elements of this vision and the key technology challenges that must be addressed. The final section provides the development vision assumed by the trough roadmap. KEY ELEMENTS OF THE TROUGH ROADMAP ÿ Technology and Market Development The roadmap must include both technology and market development components. Even with significant technological improvements, trough technology would achieve only a fraction of its potential without a concerted market development effort. Likewise, a market development effort without a significant technology development focus would be ineffective. ÿ Near-Term and Long-Term Opportunities Based on the market scenarios outlined, opportunities exist for trough technologies both in the near and long term. For troughs to be successful, the trough roadmap must have both near- term and long-term components. ÿ Collaborations In order for trough technology to be successful, all stakeholder groups (industry, government, laboratories, financial institutions, regulators, and policy makers) must work together to develop a cohesive development program. U.S. collaboration with European and Israeli technology providers and research facilities that have been working to market and improve the technology will also enhance U.S. industry's chances for success. KEY TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGES A number of technology challenges must be addressed if trough technology is to be successful in the future power market. ÿ Cost Reduction and Performance Improvement The cost of trough technology must be reduced for it to be competitive in future power markets. Based on initial estimates, cost reductions of 50% appear to be possible, but this will require a focused technology development effort in combination with real project deployment opportunities. Performance improvements of up to 50% are within reach with advancements in the technology. ÿ Reintroduction of Troughs Even if the next trough project were to begin today, by the time it is completed, nearly 10 years will have passed since LUZ completed its last trough project. Some of the knowledge base developed by LUZ will have been lost in that time. Even with the lessons learned since then, it will be difficult for the next developer to immediately improve on the LUZ experience. This Page 14
