4 FAQs about [Solar Lava Power Tower]
How many kilowatts a year will molten salt tower thermal power station produce?
The annual power generation of the molten salt tower thermal power station will reach 390 million kilowatt-hours, which can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 350,000 metric tons per year.
How do solar power towers work?
Traditional solar power towers are constrained in size by the height of the tower and closer heliostats blocking the line of sight of outer heliostats to the receiver. The use of the pit mine's "stadium seating" helps overcome the blocking constraint.
How many birds died at Ivanpah solar power plant?
Workers at the Ivanpah solar power plant call these birds "streamers," as they ignite in midair and plummet to the ground trailing smoke. During testing of the initial standby position for the heliostats, 115 birds were killed as they entered the concentrated solar flux.
Is solar thermal power a new energy industry?
Solar thermal power is one of the key new energy industries the government is supporting. According to national plans, during the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-20), the industry will offer 5 million kilowatts of installed capacity, which will generate more than 100 billion yuan ($14.6 billion) of market growth.
