ABSTRACT:
This report, Preliminary Design of the Carrisa Plains Solar Central Receiver Power Plant, ESG-DOE-13404, consists of three volumes, one of which is further subdivided. These are:

Volume I. Executive Summary
Volume II. Plant Specifications
Volume III. Plant Design
Book 1. Design Description
Book 2. Design Drawings
Book 3. Appendices

Books 1, 2, and 3 in Volume Ill, Plant Design, are a single document, separated for reasons of format and readability. Book 1, Design Description, contains narrative material, tables, and figures suited to an 8½-in. by 11-in. format. Book 2, Design Drawings, is a 17-in. by 22-in. volume containing material whose readability is benefited by a larger format. Graphic material cited in Book 1 is referenced as a figure if it appears in Book 1, or as a drawing if it appears in Book 2. Material appearing in Books 2 and 3 is assigned a number in accordance with the section of Book 1 in which it is referenced. Consequently, the numbering in Books 2 and 3 may appear to leave gaps.
