SOLAR POWER TOWER
in solar intensity and until all of the energy stored in the hot tank is depleted. Energy storage and dispatchability ar e very important for the success of solar power tower technology, and molten salt is believed to be the key to cost effective energy storage. Sunlight Figure 2. Dispatchability of molten-salt power towers.
Solar power tower
A solar power tower, also known as ''central tower'' power plant or ''heliostat'' power plant, is a type of solar furnace using a tower to receive focused sunlight. It uses an array of flat, movable mirrors (called heliostats) to focus the sun''s rays upon a collector tower (the target). Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) systems are seen as one viable solution for …
Storing energy using molten salts
Molten salt thermal storage systems have become worldwide the most established stationary utility scale storage system for firming variable solar power over many hours with a discharge power rating of some hundreds of electric megawatts (Fig. 20.1).As shown in Table 20.1, a total of 18.9 GWh e equivalent electrical storage …
