Technical Specification – Power Island
The Vast Solar 1 (VS1) plant will be a reference plant for Vast Solar in both terms of technology deployment as well as project development and execution.
The plant will dispatch electricity into the National Electricity Market (NEM). The intent is that plant will operate as a “peaker” with dispatch during a defined operating window, coinciding with high NEM demand and electricity price. The plant comprises the following main areas:
| 1. | Site preparation and infrastructure including stormwater, roads, fencing and water supply |
| 2. | Switchyard and substation for grid connection |
| 3. | Solar field with heliostat arrays, towers, receivers and heat transfer fluid piping network |
| 4. | Thermal storage system with molten salt tanks, heat exchangers and pumps |
| 5. | Power block including steam generator, steam turbine and all associated balance of plant |
The project will deploy Vast Solar’s unique modular CSP system. The CSP plant will use a single steam turbine and generator (STG) of nominally 30 MWe generating capacity operating as a reheat cycle with an air-cooled condenser (ACC). The STG will be supplied by a steam generator system (SGS) using molten salt as the heat source. Molten salt will be fed from and stored in the thermal energy storage (TES) system. The thermal energy in the TES system will be supplied by Vast Solar’s modular solar field consisting of eight solar arrays. Sodium will be used as the heat transfer fluid (HTF) to transfer the energy from the solar field to the TES.
The VS1 project is a crucial stage in the commercialisation of Vast Solar’s CSP technology. The project will make use of Vast Solar’s unique solar field and solar receiver as part of the development pathway for these designs. The project will be used to gather key data on the build process, timing, costs and performance to contribute to the improvement of Vast Solar’s CSP product.
The VS1 project is located approximately 25 km to the north west of Port Augusta in South Australia. Main access from Port Augusta is via the Stuart Highway.
The site is part of a larger development site where there is potential for other energy projects to be located, including a battery energy storage facility. There may be some shared infrastructure.
The purpose of this specification is to outline the requirements and a scope of work for the design, supply, pre-assembly, commissioning supervision and performance testing of the Power Island for the VS1 project.
The Power Island is defined as all functional groups that extract and convert the thermal energy in the superheated steam to electrical energy via the steam turbine and generator. This includes:
| · | Steam turbine auxiliaries (lubrication, hydraulics, gland steam) |
| Technical Specification – Power Island | VS1-20-Y-G-IO-VE-003 |

| · | Condensate system (condensate pumps, condensate tank and low pressure pre-heaters) |
| · | Feedwater system (deaerator, feedwater pumps and high pressure pre-heaters) |
| · | Steam turbine bypass system |
This specification is intended to outline the functional and minimum technical requirements for the equipment. The Supplier shall design and supply equipment using its expertise and know-how to meet the specified requirements. It is the responsibility of the Supplier to ensure all design, materials selection and functionality are in compliance with the latest applicable design standards, regulations and industry best practice. Latest applicable is to mean at the date of contract award.
Where scope of supply is defined, it is not intended that this be limiting. The Supplier shall include all equipment and services within the battery limits, whether explicitly mentioned or otherwise, necessary to provide a complete system capable of operating in a safe and reliable manner over the range of operating conditions and modes specified for the design life of the plant.
Notwithstanding the above, the Supplier may propose modifications to these specifications, which imply improvements in the design. These modifications shall be duly justified and their acceptance shall depend solely on the decision of the Purchaser.
| 1.4 | Exceptions and Deviations |
The Supplier shall clearly state if the goods and services offered are completely in accordance with this specification. In the case where exceptions or deviations are proposed, the Supplier shall include a complete list of exceptions or deviations with the tender. A justification or explanation shall be included with each item. Any exception or deviation must be approved by the Purchaser before proceeding. Any additional costs which may arise as a consequence of any exceptions or deviations that have not been indicated and approved shall be paid by the Supplier.
