Field Design It is possible to increase the average temperature of the HTF without exceeding its maximum temperature by selecting the series-parallel patterns in which solar collectors assemblies are arranged. For the same total number of collectors, the fewer collectors in series the higher the average temperature. Should STORES power plants reach full commercial potential, this consideration is anticipated to play an important part in optimizing the efficiency and output. 4.7 Host Site Selection and Market Potential Report California Opportunities Ultimately, STORES systems must have willing, supportive, even enthusiastic clients in order to succeed. Solar energy is intermittent and seasonal, and needs grit and determination to move forward. It is also vital to provide high value to the client. Several attempts were made to find such clients. It was initially felt that the best marketplace in the US would be off-grid customers who needed electricity. This approach was not successful. Despite much effort, no potential off-grid customers could be found in the U.S. who would benefit from 1 to 10 MW of solar electric power. The U.S. grid is generally robust and delivers power to any community that has a sustained demand for one megawatt of power. While this finding is good for U.S. customers, it was a blow to the project. The search included meetings with Sandia National Labs, to help seek Native American communities who may benefit from solar electric power. During the meeting, Dave Menicucci of Sandia suggested that there may be on-grid customers who would be very interested in STORES power plants connected to the grid, but on the customer side of the meter. These customers would be large US government institutions located in the Southwest desert. The U.S. government is the largest single landowner in the Southwestern U.S. Many of these institutions are part of the U.S. Department of Defense, with military bases, weapons stations, Forts and Air Force bases strategically located in many areas. Several of these locations have peaking loads of 10 to 20 megawatts, and peak load occurs on hot summer days. This is an excellent match with solar thermal power because the power plant will also peak during those same hot days for the same reason. 46
