Parabolic-Trough Technology Roadmap January 1999 ROADMAP INITIATIVES WHAT NEXT? Opportunities exist now for major advancements in the deployment of trough technology, based on bold steps on technology, system, and market development fronts. The technology has been commercially successful in early deployment; global environmental issues remain a strong concern, favoring renewable energy systems; and international demand for new power generation has changed the nature of power system implementation. Three initiatives have been initially identified to help implement this roadmap and move trough technology forward. ÿ Near-Term Trough Development The United States is uniquely positioned to play a key role in the future development of trough technologies as a result of the experience and expertise gained at the current SEGS plants. A U.S. trough R&D initiative could be used to expand U.S. industry involvement in worldwide trough deployments and to help advance the state of the technology. The specific objectives of the U.S. trough R&D initiative are: • Bring industry together to form a trough consortium that will aggressively pursue projects. Given the high up-front cost of power plant development, most companies are currently not willing to make the investment necessary on their own to push trough development forward. Although many look for the next "LUZ" to come forward to develop the next project, power plant development today may require an integrated supply and development consortium to share the risk of building new power plants. This initiative would encourage the development of a formalized parabolic-trough supply consortium that could supply trough power plants. • Provide a mechanism for continued development of trough technology that supports the needs of industry. Although the EuroTrough project is focusing on developing the next- generation tough collector, there is much research and development that needs to be done to advance the current state of the art in parabolic-trough technology to support the next trough plants built. Given the high-risk nature of future trough development, most companies are currently not willing to invest significant amounts of money to advance the state of the technology. The USA Trough initiative will provide seed money to encourage development activities necessary to support the next trough plants built. Many lessons have been learned from the existing SEGS plants, which can improve the next plants built. This initiative would focus on those lessons and make sure they are applied in the next trough plants built. • Increase U.S. content of domestic and international trough projects. Although current trough plant designs utilize mirrors from Germany (Pilkington) and receiver tubes from Israel (SOLEL), the majority of system cost (over 75%) comes from other sources. For the next plants built, the mirrors and receiver tubes would most likely come from those same sources. U.S. companies could provide much of the remaining system for domestic projects, and even a significant portion for international projects. However, for this to occur, U.S. industry must be an active participant in future developments, otherwise other international firms are likely to take their place. This initiative would also focus on Page 34PDF Image | A Pathway for Sustained Commercial Development and Deployment of Parabolic Trough Technology
