You are to present your design in a report of between 6,000-8,000 words. The report is to be submitted by one of the group members through the subject e-learning site as a pdf file with active links to all online sources cited.

Your assignment task is to design a 10MWe solar thermal power plant for the Illawarra region. The design is to be at the conceptual, not detailed design level. Discussion of technical and non-technical issues related to siting and generation should be included.
This is a group assignment to be completed in teams of 5 or 6 students. Teams must be selected by the end of the week 3 tutorial. Group member lists should be sent to the subject coordinator. A group discussion board will be set up where weekly minutes of meetings must be uploaded from week 4. A template is provided for this purpose. Any later claims related to poor group function and group or team member problems must be substantiated by the meeting minutes. If group problems cannot be resolved during semester, marks may be adjusted to reflect individual contributions.

Some of the key elements that should be considered in the design and included in your report are:
• Siting of the plant
• Calculations and data related to the solar resource available at the site
• Type of solar collector determined most suitable (with accompanying justification)
• Solar tracking scheme utilised (if determined feasible)
• Size of the collector (mirror area, pipe lengths etc)
• Energy storage capacity requirements
• Schematic of the plant layout
