Seville - Gemasolar solar power plant has its own uniqueness. Because the power plants located in this southern Spanish region can produce electricity at night, where the sun had long sunk.
It has a 2650 circular panes of glass scattered in an area of 185 hectares, Gemasolar power plant is like a giant work of art. These glass panels will deliver 95 percent of solar radiation to a receiver located in the center of a giant power plant.
Solar thermal energy that reaches 900 degrees Celsius it will be used to warm the hundreds of tanks, so that later can drive the turbines at the power plant area.
But unlike most power stations, heat stored in the tank Gemasolar be distributed to more than 15 hours a day, even though there is no sun. Spanish territory that gets quite a lot of sunlight allows Gemasolar operate at night so that it can generate electricity production for at least 270 days a year. This means that electricity production in Gemasolar three times more than any other power plant.
Gemasolar power plant is a joint project between energy companies from Abu Dhabi's Masdar and Sener development firm from Spain. Construction of this facility spent two years and forcing both parties to disburse funds of not less than 260 million pounds. Such as the Daily Mail reported on Tuesday (07/06/2011).
Gemasolar expected to be producing electricity up to 110 GWh per year, which in fact is enough to supply electricity in 25 thousand houses in the area of Andalusia.
