Spain built the world’s largest solar power station in the desert

According to Russia’s “bond” news report, Laptop batteries the world’s largest solar power plant has been recently in Spain, Andalusia (Andalucian) put into operation in the desert. The construction of the power plant energy company Abengoa says, this power tower solar power plants up to 20 megawatts, can protect more than 11,000 families in the daily use of electricity.

Tower of so-called concentrated solar power station solar power (CSP) technology, the use of mirrors will reflect sunlight to the central tower, so that the tower water temperature to 1000 ℃. Concentrated solar power technology has always been its simple, cheap and efficient known advantages, compared to photovoltaic panels (PV) technology, which can be more efficient use of solar energy. However, CSP technology is only applicable to weather, light-rich region.

According to reports, the most important components of the power station is a height of nearly 170 meters of solar tower. There are more than 1,200 special mirror surface (mirror on each side equal to half the size of a volleyball court) will reflect the sun into this solar tower, the resulting high temperatures up to 1000 degrees Celsius, enough to heat liquid water which into the steam. Which will drive the steam turbine generator placed in the tower, resulting in a steady flow of current.

This is the building of the desert in Andalusia, Spain’s second large-scale  Dell Inspiron 1300 batterysolar power plants. Previously, Abengoa Energy to build here has been a power of 10 MW power station. The company plans to 2013 and then in the region and the building of five power plants similar to.

With this 20-megawatt power plant into operation, Spain’s solar power plant installed capacity has now reached about 3,000 megawatts, ranking second in Europe only to Germany.
