Performing Organization: Key Technical Contact: DOE HQ Technology Manager: FY 2005 Budget: Dish/Engine System R&D Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Charles Andraka, 505-844-8573, ceandra@sandia.gov Thomas Rueckert, 202-586-0942, thomas.rueckert@ee.doe.gov $950K ____________________________________________________________________________________ Objectives • Perform R&D on dish/engine system components and systems. • Improve the reliability and reduce the cost of dish/engine components and systems. • Support industry in the commercialization of the technology. • Test, evaluate, and improve the performance of dish/engine components and systems. Accomplishments • Installed and started operation of a six-dish, 150-kW mini power plant at SNL’s National Solar Thermal Test Facility. • Identified and began addressing gas-management system valve issues. • Began developing an operational database. Future Directions Primary activities in FY 2006 will support Stirling Energy Systems’ efforts toward commercialization by: • Continuing to evaluate the reliability of the six-dish mini power plant • Identifying and resolving operational and reliability issues • Defining initial, baseline system performance and reliability • Supporting SES as it starts to deploy a 1-MW power plant. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Introduction Stirling Energy Systems (SES) is pursuing an aggressive deployment of 25-kW dish-Stirling systems for bulk power generation. SES hardware is based on the tried-and-true McDonnell Douglas Corporation (MDC) design, with refinements for reducing manufacturing costs. SES is working closely with an SNL engineering team to maximize the possibility of success. This year, SES deployed five upgraded systems at SNL, completing the six-dish Model Power Plant (MPP). SNL engineers provided critical development support to resolve structural issues during assembly. SNL also developed a new alignment strategy to improve system performance and began work on solving known reliability issues. The success of the MPP has, in part, led to SES signing agreements with Southern California Edison for up to 850 MW of power and San Diego Gas and Electric for up to 900 MW of power. Operation and improvement of the MPP is critical in the design process for these deployments. Solar Thermal R&D Concentrating Solar Power The DOE dish-Stirling program works closely with SES to improve system performance and reliability and to support deployment by industry in the near term, both explicit goals of the DOE Solar Program Multi-Year Program Plan, section 4.2.5.3. This year, our primary goal was to install, test, and begin to baseline the performance (reliability, availability, and efficiency) of six SES 25-kW dish- Stirling systems operating as a plant. The system is derived from the successful MDC system, but was redesigned to improve cost. SES’s objective is to put this system into production within a few years, with a target market of bulk power production in the southwestern United States. This corporate goal drives the DOE goal of determining the baseline performance of the system, so that follow-on work can address performance improvement. 2. Technical Approach SES plans to achieve cost reduction by rapidly moving to high production rates in support of bulk power production. This approach, when compared 110PDF Image | DOE Solar Energy Technologies Program
