Abu Dhabi started to work on new solar –power plant project
by MASDER and Sener of Spain called Gemsolar .This is a new idea where the sun
transfers the heat energy to molten salt .The energy of sun is reflected in
huge mirrors and the molten salt is contained in a storage tank then is heated
and is used to power a steam turbine. This is turn produces electricity. Before
they did not use molten salt and so this is a revolutionary technology. The
“heliostats” is the name of system which replaced the older version and the
temperatures reflected are very high from the energy of the mirrors around the
central tower. The large capacity of energy is enough to supply thousands of homes.
The team built a separate control system when follows the sun. Each heliostat
has a lot of complicated machinery around it and support.
