1-2 SL-5641 Final Sargent & Lundy, with technical support from its expert consultants, reviewed available information and data to make our independent assessment. The detailed review was performed by S&L, with only technical input from our consultants, so that we maintain as much independence as possible from the industry and from our expert consultants. Sargent & Lundy is not an active participant in the solar market. However, our experience includes design of the power block and civil/structural portions for the Solar Electric Generating Station (SEGS) VIII and IX in 1988– 1989. Any future involvement in CSP plants would entail a similar scope (design of the power block and civil/structural portions). S&L’s core competence is as an architect-engineer and designer for the power block. Although we may be a participant in the project, our independence is maintained since any work would be a small portion of our overall business. 1.2 SCOPE OF WORK Sargent & Lundy received and organized data from the DOE, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and members of the CSP industry. These data included technology assessments and supporting studies for troughs and towers. The first meeting with the NRC panel to discuss the work approach and agree on the focus of the work scope occurred on August 12, 2002. Before the meeting, S&L, with approval from NREL, proceeded with the review based on our contractual work scope. Among the technical experts within the industry from whom we received guidance, including support on a subcontract basis, were Dave Kearney for Trough Technology and Pat DeLaquil for Tower Technology. The work scope was modified during the first NRC meeting to focus on cost reductions and technology improvements. S&L’s scope of work included “estimate the expected competitiveness of these technologies (CSP) in peaking, cycling, and baseload applications for operation as grid-connected generators, comparing CSP technologies with other technologies commercially used for such service today (e.g. combined-cycle natural gas fired power plants).” S&L had completed considerable work in this area before the August 12, 2002 meeting. The DOE stated that it was not the intent, nor should it be the intent, to include this in the work scope. The analysis of competing technologies will be addressed separately by the DOE. S&L’s evaluation or assessment focused on cost reduction, improvements in technology and financial analysis of levelized energy cost (LEC). Our evaluation review was based on our examination of relevant data, technical assistance from our subcontractors, our experience in the power industry and due diligence process, and industry input.
