Solar Repowering/Industrial Retrofit System for the Provident Energy Company Refinery. Topical Report, September 28, 1979-July 15, 1980

摘要

A tower-focus hybrid process steam plant is designed for retrofit in an Arizona refinery. A flat-panel receiver generates saturated steam superheated to the desired temperature in a separate, fossil-fired superheater before admission to the main refinery steam headers. Buffer storage is required to protect the refinery from cloud-induced solar transients. Trade-off and optimization studies, are described upon which the design was selected. The system requirements specification is included. (ERA citation 07:003806)
