Gemasolar is a solar plant which is a
joint venture by Masdar of Abu Dhabi and the Spanish engineering Company Sener.
The idea behind this plant is to produce heat energy from the sun by using
mirrors.
The mirrors reflect the sun rays and heat
salt which becomes liquid and transfer the heat to the receiver technology. So
the salt is pumped to the tower from storage tank to power up a steam turbine
to produce electricity.
Produce around 110 gigawatt per hour. It
is scheduled to heat thousands of homes. So the challenge is to maximize the
plant output and storage the energy from the sun for use when needed.
The mirrors are very big so they have a
control room to keep them following the sun.
The plant is state of the art and very
exciting for the future of the green energy.
