ANNEX VII
CENTRAL SOLAR HEATING PLANTS WITH SEASONAL STORAGE :
FEASIBILITY STUDY AND DESIGN
The objectives ofthis Task are todetermine the technical
feasibility andcost-effectiveness oflarge-scale ,seasonal
storage solar energy systems for theheating ofbuildings ;
toevaluate themerits ofalternative large-scale system
designs for collecting ,storing andusing solar energy ;and
toprepare detailed system designs for specific site para­
meters .
Means j
i
The task will beundertaken inthefollowing Phases inorder
toaccomplish theforegoing objectives :
Phase I :Literature survey ,development ofsubsystem and
system simulation andoptimization ofcomputer
codes ,selection ofsystem components system op­
timization ,andpreliminary designs .
Phase II ;Detailed system designs forspecific site para­
meters
Phase I
Phase Iwill bedevided into five Subtasks .Close co-ordina­
tion ofthework under theSubtasks will bemaintained through
information exchange ,reports bytheOperating Agent andpe­
riodic review meetings ofallParticipants .

(Lead Country :Swedish Participant )
Each Participant wi "11conduct aninventory ofpotential
sites ,andwill develop a1preliminary design ,including
cost analyses ,for alarge-scale solar heating plant
/
with seasonal storage ,for oneormore specific sites .
They will utilize for this purpose therecommended com­
puter programs andoptimized parameters developed inSub­
task 1(a).
Attheconclusion ofPhase 1,allParticipants will meet
toreview thepreliminary site-specific designs prepared
under this Subtask .They will then select those which are
suitable forfurther design andevaluation work .The se­
lected .system designs mayuse existing technology only ,
orrequire improved components (which maybealready un­
derdevelopment orforwhich development must beinitiate ^)
Inmaking their selection ofsystems forfurther develop­
ment ,theParticipants will consider thelegal andenvi­
ronmental aspects involved ,aswell astechnical perfor­
mance andcost .TheOperating Agent will prepare agene­
ricenvironmental impact assessment forPhase I(e)
systems .

-5-
PhaseII-Detailed System Design
Following thecompletion ofPhase I,each Participant desiring
tocontinue inthis Task will proceed with thedevelopment of'
adetailed system design forspecific site parameters and
costing ofalarge-scale central solar heating plant suited to
their needs atapossible site within their country .Two or
more Participants mayjointly develop such adesign andcosting .
Participants not wishing tocontinue inthis Task maywithdraw
upon agreement oftheExecutive Committee inaccordance with
Article 10 (g)oftheImplementing Agreement .
?
Each Participant 'swork will include the conduct ofexperi­
ments asrequired ,and ,drawing upon thedata andresults of
Phase 1,'the selection anddesign ofanappropriate system .
Extensive liaison between Participants will bemaintained during
Phase II.Participants will review alldesigns atsixmonth in­
tervals toassure information exchange andtoavoid errors in
design and co-ordination .
IfthePhase IIParticipants sodecide ,theconstruction of
thesolar heating plant and theevaluation oftheperformance
and cost-effectiveness oftheplant may become the subject of
anew Annex tothis Implementing Agreement .
Tiuie Schedule
Four years after thedate ofapproval ofthis Annex .Work on
theSubtasks (a)-(d)ofPhase Iwill commence three months
after theapproval oftheAnnex andwill becompleted 24months
after approval oftheAnnex .Subtask 1(e)will becompleted
