2.2.2 Current Experience Figure 2-2 — Molten-Salt Power Tower System Schematic (Solar Two, baseline configuration) 2-4 SL-5641 Final To date, the largest power towers ever built are the 10-MWe Solar One and Solar Two plants in southern California. Although power towers are commercially less mature than parabolic trough systems, a number of component and experimental systems have been field tested around the world in the last 15 years, demonstrating the engineering feasibility and economic potential of the technology. The Solar One Pilot plant was an important step in the development of power tower technology and operated from 1982 to 1988. After the initial startup (test and evaluation) phase, Solar One operated reliably. The goals of the redesigned demonstration plant, called Solar Two, were to validate nitrate salt technology, to reduce the technical and economic risk of power towers, and to stimulate the commercialization of power tower technology. Solar Two succeeded in meeting these objectives and has led to the formation of a commercialization consortia to build the first commercial power tower plant, Solar Tres, in Spain. Solar Two produced 10 MW of electricity with enough thermal storage to continue to operate the turbine at full capacity for 3 hours after the sun has set, proving the ability to dispatch to meet peak utility loads. Solar Two also demonstrated continuous operation for nearly a week, frequently at part-load output.
