@chionglab: Solar power tower: this one at midnight. Making electricity, or not?

Farrt1 :

My PhD was on this and solutions to make them productive 24/7. let me know if anyone is interested. several papers on the subject

Shag :

so basically most of renewable energy is heating up water

Eng. Kamau Martin :

Why is salt used in this matter

Shaggydude :

Those plants are still in the Mohave, but their shut down, and have been for awhile. They looks good on paper, but in application it falls short of expectations. There was a huge write up done about them not long ago.

no

Vibrant :

it sure is ... those molten salts stay hot for many hours ....creating heat for energy

Jovito :

still generate power ,by morning the hot water tank is almost empty, the reheating process begins again , also cold water is kept in a separate tank to avoid heat loose to it . and pumped back in the morning for reheat , in minimum flow rate to avoid cooling the water,

Atm Ben :

200 million eur 🤔

moon :

Retro-g :

this is if there is no clouds

a413x8 :

This is a very expensive station 45-70 Million euros

Rana waseem :

The molten salt math really sells it — 2.85×10¹² J stored in the hot tank is a wild amount of energy 👏

vicocom1 :

I think there's enough stored energy to run the generator overnight.

Vintage V :

both good

MAGNANIMOUS :

so much love this page

wawan :

good

а в чем проблема ещё и с луны энергию брать?

hydraz11 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 :

Which would be a form of baseload power! Because he could regulate it with the tanks

BlueHorseshoe :

Ivanpah in California tried this, it never really worked in a way that made sense. Killed a lot of birds though.

Fabian Athayde :

these things are trash now this is what is really needed
