The current definition of a 10-MWe pilot plant preliminary design base line is presented, as well as a summary of a 100-MWe commercial plant base line. The subsystems described for the plants include the collector, receiver, thermal storage, and electrical power generation. A master control concept employing a centralized computer is also described. The subsystem research experiment activities for the collector, receiver, and thermal storage subsystems are presented, including a summary of SRE test requirements, overall test scheduling, and status through the conceptual design review phase of the SRE effort.
