π€ Concentrated Solar Power - Molten Salt Storage
This article examines China's Dunhuang solar power plant, detailing its use of concentrated solar power technology with molten salt for energy storage. It explains how this system captures solar energy and converts it into dispatchable electricity.
Key Points:
β’ The Dunhuang plant employs approximately 12,000 mirrors for sunlight concentration.
β’ Concentrated sunlight heats molten salt to extreme temperatures.
β’ Stored thermal energy is used to generate electricity on demand.
β’ The system provides electricity even after sunset.
π Implementation:
- Focus Sunlight: Thousands of mirrors direct solar radiation to a central receiver.
- Heat Transfer: Molten salt circulates through the receiver to absorb and store heat.
- Energy Storage: Heated molten salt is stored in insulated tanks for later use.
- Electricity Generation: Heat from the molten salt produces steam to drive a turbine and generate power.
