Projection of distributed-collector solar-thermal electric power plant economics to years 1990-2000 [PDF]

A preliminary comparative evaluation of distributed-collector solar thermal power plants was undertaken by projecting power plant economics of selected systems to the 1990 to 2000 time frame. The selected systems include: (1) fixed orientation collectors
