Solar Pilot Plant, Phase I. Quarterly report No. 5, October--December 1976

Collector subsystem research experiment (SRE) tests were conducted and the data evaluated. Assembly of the SRE steam generator was almost complete. Testing will start in January 1977. Two major changes in the baseline design, sensible thermal heat storage rather than phase-change storage and wet rather than dry cooling of the condenser, were being worked. Analytical and design work on the electrical generation subsystem and plant integration progressed satisfactorily
