China Three Gorges Corporation An aerial view of the world's first dual-tower solar thermal plant in northwest China's Gansu Province. /China Three Gorges Corporation A Chinese power company is pioneering world-first technology by combining two endothermic towers to achieve a significant efficiency boost.
China's foray into solar thermal power began in 2016, but this new project takes it a step further with its dual-tower design. "The mirrors in the overlapping area can be utilized by either tower," explains plant project manager Wen Jianghong. "This configuration is expected to enhance efficiency by 24 percent."
China's initiative in solar thermal energy storage utilizes multiple towers, with two of them sharing a common turbine. This design optimizes the efficiency of solar thermal power generation by strategically positioning mirrors in overlapping concentric circles to maximize sunlight reflection. How can solar energy be utilized after sunset?
China's solar thermal power generation companies have mastered the core technology of building large-scale molten salt tower thermal power stations, and are ready to go global, industry experts said.
This is in support of the Chinese government's stated goal to construct 1,200 gigawatts of less polluting energy capacity by 2030. This isn't China's only solar tower, as it also recently broke ground on what is expected to be the world's largest solar tower by capacity.
China required from the first demonstration phase that each CSP project must include thermal energy storage, marking the first recognition globally of the value of the low cost and longevity of thermal energy storage. As a power station storing solar energy thermally, CSP operates like a gas plant to supply grid services like rolling reserves.
