However, in order to jump-start the trough technology, a minimum volume of SCAs will be necessary to justify the resumption of their production. A 10-megawatt plant will require 63,000 square meters and 268 SCAs. This should be sufficient to stimulate the restart of the industry, especially when there is the potential for more plants to come. Further study will be necessary to evaluate the scaling up and down of STORES plants and to come up with a flexible, modular design. Conclusions and Recommendations Conclusions The STORES power plant provides an option to the ISCCS for restoring Trough solar power plants to their rightful place in renewable energy. The following are advantages of STORES power plants: • They will be able to deliver power around the clock to remote areas, at a cost already close to the cost of alternative generation • STORES will lead more rapidly toward cost-effectiveness than the ISCCS option • The simpler operation of STORES plants will result in O&M Costs that are significantly lower than comparable steam power plants • Storage is feasible and can be provided at a reasonable cost, allowing for power to be delivered on-demand, an important value for remote areas not connected to the grid • The output of well-chosen ORC plants, given the same input, will increase output during cooler evenings and during colder winter months • The cost of electricity in the U.S. will be close to competitive with the potential other means of generation for remote areas using diesel generators • In Developing Countries with low labor rates, the cost of electricity will be lower than that from diesel engines, perhaps even for the first such plant • If a low capital can be obtained for renewable energy and global warming reduction benefits, it will significantly reduce the cost of electricity produced • A subsidy of $2 a watt will make the cost of electricity generated in developing countries very attractive • Even though STORES plants are not in common use, the building blocks of a STORES plant are proven and successful; this will enhance the likelihood of attracting developers and financiers • Subsequent STORES plants can be built quickly, responding to short-term needs • STORES plants will need much simpler environmental review than ISCCS plants • STORES plants will need very little infrastructure development compared to ISCCS plants • STORES are pure solar plants, with no fossil fuel requirements, avoiding contentious debates on “solar fraction.” The solar fraction is one hundred percent. The initial STORES plants should preferably be installed only in places remote from the grid, where the electricity will displace existing or proposed diesel engines. B-28
