The doe solar thermal electric program
The Department of Energy’s Solar Thermal Electric Program is managed by the Solar Thermal and Biomass Power Division, which is part of the Office of Utility Technologies. The focus of the Program is to commercialize solar electric technologies. In this regard, three major projects are currently being pursued in trough, central receiver, and dish/Stirling electric power generation. This paper describes these three projects and the activities at the National Laboratories that support them.
