The Department of Energy (DOE) is currently in the initial phase of a development project to produce a prototype Solar 10 MW (electric) Pilot Power Plant near Barstow, California. As part of this early development. The Aerospace Corporation has developed a digital computer simulation of this pilot power plant. The simulation program is presented. The simulation program has been designated STMPPS (Solar Ten Megawatt Pilot Plant Simulation). This simulation is operative on The Aerospace Corporation Control Data Corporation (CDC) 7600 digital computer, with use of the CDC SCOPE 2.1 operating system. (ERA citation 04:044549)
