III. Developing optimized solar power plants. The primary power plant of choice remains the Rankine steam power cycle. Future plants will look to scale up plant size, optimize the integration of the solar field and power plant, and reduce water consumption. Alternative power cycles (combined cycle and organic Rankine cycles) will be considered for niche applications. Power plant O&M costs will be reduced primarily through scaling up plant size and increasing capacity factor. Improvements in receiver and mirror reliability and mirror- washing techniques will help reduce solar-field O&M requirements. Developing improved automation and control systems and O&M data integration and tracking systems will also be necessary to achieve longer-term O&M cost targets. IV. Developing the design and systems integration tools for solar power plant optimization. This activity focuses on developing systems-integration tools to evaluate trough technologies and assess program activities. Metrics, and a methodology for tracking them, to support the Solar Program systems-driven approach and to support technical evaluation of program R&D efforts will be developed. Many of the existing models used for technical and economic analysis of parabolic-trough solar power plant technologies need to be updated and validated. This includes models for collector optics and thermal performance, plant process design and integration tools, annual performance and economic assessment, and capital and O&M cost models. The development of testing standards, facilities, and data-reporting requirements for key solar-field components, systems, and power plants will be implemented. The EERE Troughnet Website (http://www.eere.energy.gov/troughnet) will be updated to improve technology transfer to stakeholders. Table 4.2-4.
