Solar
by Greg Cruey on May 25, 2009
With all the focus on cars recently, solar energy seems to have moved to thirds place in the public mind, after wind energy. So when I saw this piece in Renewable Energy World I thought I'd use it to bring solar energy up front again for a moment...
Abengoa Solar has started commercial operations at the world's largest solar power tower plant, the Solúcar Platform (PS20) near Seville, Spain. It's a 20 MW facility and the technology there has been improved based on experience from its predecessor, PS10.

Abengoa Solar has started commercial operations at the world's largest solar power tower plant, the Solúcar Platform (PS20) near Seville, Spain. It's a 20 MW facility and the technology there has been improved based on experience from its predecessor, PS10.
PS20 consists of a solar field made up of 1255 heliostats with a surface area of 1291 square feet each. This reflects the solar radiation it receives onto the receiver, located on the top of a 531 foot-high tower, producing steam which is converted into electricity generation by a turbine.It's a fascinating facility.
