ABSTRACT:
There are solar energy conversion systems in the Southwest that are functional while others are in the testing or planning stages. Two solar powered irrigation pumping systems are functional using parabolic mirror solar concentrators. The solar thermal power system concept ("power tower") is being tested at a 5 MW thermal test facility near Albuquerque, New Mexico prior to actual construction of a 10 MW solar thermal power system near Barstow, California. A 100 MW8 solar thermal show more system (central receiver system) is being planned as a follow up project to the 10 MWe facility. Photovoltaic solar dispersed power systems are also planned for construction in the next decade.

Impacts resulting from construction and operation of solar conversion facilities have the potential of altering the complex desert ecological systems. These ecosystems are composed of two parts, the biotic or organism component and the abiotic or chemical and physical components. Within the biotic component energy is transferred through the food chain and organisms interact in the process of growth and survival. The abiotic factors such as temperature, precipitation, soil, etc. establish the environment within which the organisms function. Interrelationships between organisms and abiotic factors generate flows of nutrients and other ecosystem constituents through biogeochemical cycles. It is these interacting processes and cycles that may be altered by solar conversion facilities.

Based on the ecosystem concept, theoretical ecological impacts of solar conversion systems have been developed. These are discussed under the impact categories of shading, wind deflection and physical disturbance. show less

ABSTRACT:
The research performed under this contract was designed to identify spatial or temporal variation of any atmospheric parameters that might affect the operation of devices utilizing solar energy in the metropolitan Phoenix area. The first part of the research involved the analysis of all available solar and climatic data to determine their validity and comparability. For the standard climatic parameters, few difficulties were encountered, but the task of determining comparability of show more solar radiation data involved many pitfalls. we concluded that most of the solar data acquired before January, 1977 could not be used for purposes of identifying spatial variability. And, a year and a half of data does not represent a long enough period of time upon which to base sound conclusions about spatial and temporal variability of solar radiation in the metropolitan Phoenix region. The data currently available to us do not indicate any great spatial variation of solar radiation in the metropolitan Phoenix area. However, any meaningful statements about spatial and temporal variability of solar radiation in the metropolitan Phoenix area must await the acquisition of additional data from well-calibrated equipment. show less
