TechnologyAssessment The project has demonstrated that solar thermal technologies can be used for electrical power production in Louisiana. One of the main uncertainties with regard to solar thermal power technologies is the number of days per year when power can actually be produced. Since solar thermal power plants require direct irradiation from the sun, as opposed to diffkse sources of solar energy, the technologyisonlyapplicableonsunnydays. Oneofthemainpurposesofthispilotprojectwill be to document the number of days per year that power can be produced in Louisiana, and to identifythenumberofhoursperday,onthosedayswhenpowerisproduced. Thisinformation is directly related to the final calculation of the cost of electricity per kWh,and will have an effect on decisions for future deployment of this technology in Louisiana. In addition, valuable information will be gathered on the uncertainty of the durability of the equipment in the harsh humid climate. Forsolarthermalpower,thefollowingsitingissuesgreatlya‘ect thefeasibilityofthe use of this technology. First, the site should be located close to the need for thermal energy. Solar thermal energy technologies are approximately 75% efficient in terms of creating thermal energy from available solar irradiation, but they are significantly lower in terms of producing electricity fiom the thermal energy, due to the lower efficiencies of the power block used. Therefore, if the solar collector field can be located next to a facility that is using a fossil fbel to create thermal energy, either to produce electricity or for some industrial process, and if the solar thermal energy is used to partially offset the use of fossil fbels to produce thermal energy, then there is a greater likelihood that the economics for the use of solar thermal technology will be feasible. Second, care should be given to the stability of land on which the solar collector field will be located. On this project, it turned out that the foundations for the solar collector fields required more dirtwork than originally expected. Third, solar thermal facilities should obviously be located not only where the daily direct normal irradiation (“DNI”) levels are high in general, but also where the climate is such that there will be a large number of days per year when the level of cloudiness is low enough that the DNI for that day will be sufficient to runthe system. Fourth, solar thermal facilities are tall structures with a very large surface area, which meansthathighwindscanpresentaproblemwithtipping. Asaresult,solarcollectorfields located in high wind areas may require larger and more expensive foundations. Since the fuel for solar thermal power plants is the sun, the main issue with the fuel is the availability of a sufficient DNI to obtain the solar thermal energy needed to operate the plant.
