Abstract
The major subjects of this paper are to report the outline of the recent basic research and technical development for solar thermal electric power systems in Japan. Solar thermal electric power systems are presently being developed as one of the most important systems in Sunshine Projects which were initiated in 1974 to develop the utilization systems of new energy resources. Conceptional designs of solar thermal power systems were already done on the basis of the results of the supporting researches and two pilot plants of solar thermal electric power systems of a capacity of 1000 kWe are under construction on the basis of the conceptional and detailed designs and would be constructed by 1981. The present conditions of these pilot plants and the major researches which are thought to be most important subjects in the basic researches and technical developments for solar thermal electric power systems are described in this paper.
