System Safety Design Criteria for the Central Receiver Solar Thermal Power System

摘要

The objective of the System Safety Design Criteria is to provide the basic safety criteria for the design of the solar thermal pilot plant. These safety criteria were developed for the Energy Research and Development Administration (ERDA) to provide all contractors developing systems/subsystems for the solar thermal pilot plant with a common safety design reference. Protection of personnel and systems by incorporation of safety into the basic design to eliminate or control hazards is the primary goal of this document. Development of these criteria was based upon the standard safety requirements of a generic solar thermal pilot plant that includes a collector field, receiver/tower system, thermal storage system and an electrical power generation system. These criteria assume each individual system will contain the necessary controls to operate independently and will supply the necessary interface commands to the Master Control System. An individual evaluation of the Master Control System has not been included in this report since its design will be determined by the selected pilot plant concept. (ERA citation 09:018368)
