This paper presents research results of schematics, design parameters of prototype combined solar power tower with a gas turbine energy convertor of the power level of 4 MW. Computations of the main components of the power plant (solar receivers, solar tracking system, field of heliostats etc.) which determine its appearance and output parameters were conducted. On this basis design drawings were made. The environmental effect of application of such plants is shown. Estimation of the prospects of using solar tower power plants in Russia is presented.
