Summary
A thermodynamic and economic performance analysis code, SOLSTEP, was developed to facilitate the evaluation of solar thermal power plant designs. The code conducts a time step simulation of the plant thermodynamic performance using actual recorded meteorological and insolation data. Each analysis case provides capacity factor and levelized energy cost results for several plant configurations using various combinations of collector field size and storage capacity. The code has been used to analyze a variety of solar thermal generic concepts involving several collector types and energy conversion and storage subsystems.
