Who does this handbook serve? • Project developers • Engineering procurement construction firms • Utility companies • Energy suppliers • Financial investors, and • Others involved in CSP plant planning& development • Note: This handbook is not meant to be read from cover to end, but to be used as a reference during each project stage

  6. How is this handbook organized? • Chapter 1: Why Solar Resource Data are Important to CSP • Chapter 2: Overview of Solar Radiation Concepts • Chapter 3: Measuring Solar Radiation • Chapter 4: Modeling Solar Radiation – Current Practices • Chapter 5: Historical Solar Resource Data • Chapter 6: Applying Solar Resource Data to CSP Projects

  7. Chapter 1: Why Solar Resource Data are important to CSP • Solar resource* datafor key elements of a CSP project: • Site Selection. . . . . . . . . .Optimum Fuel Resource • Engineering . . . . . . . . . . .System Design • Economic Analyses . . . . .Power Plant Output • Operations . . . . . . . . . . . .Utility Grid Integration • * Note: All CSP technologies utilize direct normal irradiance (DNI).
