This report presents an integrated market, economic and financial analysis for developing a technology transfer strategy for solar thermal central receiver (STCR) technologies. A consistent set of economic and performance data based upon previous STCR engineering design projects was used as input to this integrated analysis. Three alternative STCR concepts, Hybrid Brayton Cycle, Hybrid Rankine Cycle and Rankine Cycle with Storage were analyzed in terms of module size scaling and learning. Based upon this analysis a set of market derived STCR design performance and cost goals was determined. These STCR design goals combined with high value individual market applications provide for a potentially feasible STCR commercialization strategy under the current stringent economic conditions.
