Based on the results of these two cases, it is clear that careful assessment of all costs are necessary to correctly evaluate the potential benefit of any design changes. Care must be taken for any design change that affects the system efficiency and the capital and O&M costs. Table 18.

The cost of additional systems will be lower for the power plant and for the solar field as well. For example, based on standard learning curve used by turbine vendors, the power cycle costs would be reduced from $1,700/kWe to about $1,000/kWe after a few tens of systems were built. Based on the simplified trough collector concept, the solar field costs are likely to be reduced as well. A parametric analysis was conducted to evaluate a reasonable low-cost scenario after about 10 systems were built, assuming a learning curve of 90%. For this analysis, a 25% reduction in the collector field cost, thermal storage cost, power cycle cost, and O&M costs were assumed. Table 19 shows the base case and low-cost assumptions used. Based on these assumptions, the first year cost of power is reduced by 25% to approximately 15¢/kWh. 44PDF Image | Modular Trough Power Plant Cycle and Systems Analysis
