In this book, the Commission of the European Communities presents
the proceedings of the Workshop on Solar Central Receiver Projects,
held in Varese, I taly, in June 1984. This Workshop was supported
by all operators of solar tower power plants around the world and,
as a result, these proceedings provide a comprehensive overview of
the technology in its current state of development. The Workshop
was organized by the Commission of the European Communities in the
frame of the second solar energy R&D programme under the
responsibility of its Di rectorate-General (X 11) for Science,
Research and Development in Brussels. The meeting place, Varese, in
Italy, was selected because of its neighbourhood to the Ispra
Establishment of the Commission's Joint Research Centre who
cooperated in the organization of the Workshop. Solar power plants
of the central receiving type have two conflicting characteristics:
they employ very simple and classical components but as a system
they are of tremendous complexity. It was the hope for rapid
progress by using available components that guided the decisions
taken in the late seventies to build six large experimental plants:
four in Europe, one in Japan and one in the United States. At that
time, this technology enjoyed high priority in solar energy R&D
around the world. Once the plants were completed, however, it
became clear that the technical complexity combined with difficult
meteorological conditions at most construction sites made the
yields less favourable than anticipated.
