Solar Thermal Power Systems Collection, 1977-1980.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100908

The collection includes the co-located documentation with JPL and the Small Power Systems Project. This consists of interoffice memoranda, interoffice publications and solar thermal power systems experiments and project documentation. Also included are industrial energy conservation reports, industrial energy conservation presentations and proposals, Industrial energy conservation miscellaneous files, parabolic dish collector systems files, annual technical reports, energy conservation in citrus fruit processing reports, and small thermal power systems technologies and small community solar thermal power projects material from 1977 through 1980. The primary goals of the thermal power systems project at JPL were to produce electricity or heat at a cost competitive with conventional alternatives, and to develop the technical and economic readiness of cost-effective PFDR technology necessary to accelerate market penetration of small power systems. Market penetration required a matured technology coupled with favorable to market penetration. The project attempted to enter market areas of high-cost energy first and to enter large markets with corresponding lower energy costs later. Such high production levels clearly justify the use of mass production manufacturing techniques through the 1990-2000 time frame.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...
