High-tech Zone Solar Power Station

What is China's first large-scale solar thermal demonstration power station?

Wang L (2018a) China's first large-scale solar thermal demonstration power station officially put into operation. Power equipment management 25 (10):92 (in Chinese) Wang M (2018b) Spatial effect of environmental regulation on carbon emissions. Meteorol Environ Res 9 (01):57–61 Wang K (2020).

Are solar power towers a promising technology?

All the issues commented above make solar power towers, among other concentrated solar power technologies, a promising technology with commercial possibilities in the mid term. Better performance and cheaper electricity compared with other options seems within reach.

What is concentrated solar technology?

Concentrated-solar technology systems use mirrors or lenses with tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional power plant (solar thermoelectricity).

What is a concentrated solar power system?

In Concentrated Solar Power systems, direct solar radiation is concentrated in order to obtain (medium or high temperature) thermal energy that is transformed into electrical energy by means of a thermodynamic cycle and an electric generator.

What was the first tower thermosolar commercial plant with molten salt storage?

Burgaleta S, Ramírez D. Gemasolar, the first tower thermosolar commercial plant with molten salt storage. In: Proceedings of SolarPACES, Granada, Spain; 2011. Solar Quotes.

Which solar power plants are dry cooled?

The four dry-cooled systems were the three power plants at the Ivanpah Solar Power Facility near Barstow, California, and the Genesis Solar Energy Project in Riverside County, California. Of 15 CSP projects under construction or development in the US as of March 2015, 6 were wet systems, 7 were dry systems, 1 hybrid, and 1 unspecified.
