Systems (SEGS) in California for the last 14 years. Characterization of a prototype by NREL indicated that the concentrator performs as well as the more expensive SEGS concentrator. A cooperative agreement was initiated with the Western Governors’ Association. This was done to facilitate the actions of Nevada, New Mexico, Arizona, and California to explore the potential of building 1000 MW of new solar capacity in their region. Solar Heating & Lighting The Cooperative Research and Development Agreement that led to the development of the roof- integrated thermosiphon solar water heating system was completed. Several manufacturing issues were resolved, and industry sent a unit to the Solar Rating and Certification Corp. for certification. As industry finishes work on the development of these systems, which are applicable only to warm climates, work has begun on systems applicable to freezing climates. NREL and SNL completed the conceptual designs of a system and began the analysis of it. ORNL completed development of its “beta” hybrid solar lighting system. This second-generation system shows marked improvement in design over the first generation. Although the most recent reorganization of the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office moved the Zero Energy Homes (ZEH) activity from the Solar Program to the Building Technologies Program, the Solar Program sponsored a ZEH impact study during FY 2004. This study was headed by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center. The objective of the study was to estimate the energy and environmental impact that could result from the widespread adoption of ZEH. Preliminary results indicated that ZEH has the potential to reverse the upward trend in new home energy consumption and begin to decrease the energy consumption of the entire U.S. housing stock. New Directions The CSP Subprogram has developed a new strategy that emphasizes early deployment of the technology. It has established partnerships with the Western Governors’ Association and several states that have expressed an interest in having concentrating solar power plants built in their state. R&D activities have been established to support the trough and dish/engine industry as it readies for projects. Projects are already under way in Arizona and Nevada (the first significant CSP projects in more than 10 years), and it is expected that other projects will begin in FY 2005. Similarly, CSP projects are under way in Spain and Israel. This burst of activity after years of inactivity provides encouragement that CSP technology will soon become competitive in the intermediate power market and start generating large quantities of electrical power. During FY 2004, for the first time in many years, a new-generation solar water heater was introduced. The RITH system, developed by the Salt River Project under a CRADA with SNL, provides an interim step to DOE’s cost goal for solar water heaters. Analysis shows the polymer water heaters being evaluated will meet the 4¢/kWh goal. The next steps are to correct problems identified by the systems being field-tested and begin prototype development of the solar water heating systems that can operate in freezing climates. Evaluation of the beta hybrid solar lighting system has proven the technical feasibility of the concept. The next step is to transfer the technology to industry partner(s) that want to commercialize it. This will be the primary objective during FY 2005.PDF Image | FY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT DOE Solar
