Parabolic-Trough Technology Roadmap January 1999 increasing the U.S. scope and supply of trough power plants for both domestic and international projects. • Provide a mechanism for U.S. companies to collaborate with Europeans, Israelis, and others to promote development of international trough projects. Currently, a number of international companies are working to advance the state of parabolic-trough collector technology. In many cases, this work has proceeded along divergent paths, which could lead to confusion and inefficient use of limited resources. The participants in the trough workshop felt that strengthened collaborations between all parties could allow for a more focused and unified plan with the greatest chance of success. As such, the USA Trough project should include collaborations with the EuroTrough group and the Israeli firm that continues to advance the state of the LUZ trough technology. Possibly more importantly, these collaborations should also include activities that focus on the development of international trough project opportunities. ÿ Strategic Alliances and Market Awareness Although parabolic-trough technology represents the most successful and lowest-cost solar power technology available today and for the foreseeable future, it has limited stakeholder support from the renewable community, and is often portrayed as a dated technology with no place in the evolving power environment. Although the participants in the parabolic-trough workshop believe that many of these perceptions are incorrect, it is clear that these issues need to be addressed and efforts need to be made to better understand the potential and the benefits of parabolic-trough technology. Unfortunately, these are not simple issues to sort out. One approach being considered is to convene a new workshop that would address many of the market-related issues and barriers that are hindering the deployment of parabolic troughs and other CSP technologies. Key stakeholders and experts would be brought together to help create a vision and a plan to carry trough development forward. The specific objectives of the workshop would be to: • Look for opportunities to encourage the development of solar power markets both domestically and abroad • Look for opportunities to address financing and taxation issues • Develop a new vision for trough power and provide a mechanism for disseminating information to key stakeholders. Those at SunLab believe that parabolic-trough technology represents the lowest-cost near-term option for solar power. Support for trough technology today could help pave the way for other, less mature technologies such as power towers and dish/engine systems to be more readily accepted in the future. ÿ SEGS Collaborations The existing SEGS facilities provide an important showcase for trough technology that is important for future trough development. In addition, access to O&M experience at these plants provides SunLab a unique opportunity to observe how real commercial systems and components perform after extended operation. A strategic opportunity exists for collaborations between SunLab and the existing SEGS facilities. This will allow the laboratories to gain a better understanding of system performance, reliability, and cost, and the existing facilities to benefit from the technical experience and capabilities of SunLab.
