Abstract
Combining a closed-cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power conversion system and a point-focusing distributed solar receiver system, consisting of parabolic dish reflectors with focal-mounted heat source exchangers and a centralized prime-mover, represents a power plant concept well suited to the needs of a small urban/industrial community. Utilizing the attractive sensible heat rejection characteristics of the Brayton cycle, the plant with a rating up to say 10 MWe, operating in a combined heat and power mode, would provide continuous total energy needs. The proposed simple hybrid solar-fossil cogeneration plant would have freedom from the requirements of oil and gaseous fuels.
