The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles southwest of Phoenix. It was completed in 2013. When commissioned, it was the largest parabolic trough plan
Thermal energy storage
…obtaining shape-stabilized PCMs using high porosity matrices is ongoing. Most solar thermal power plants use this thermal energy storage concept. The Solana Generating Station in the U.S. can store 6 hours worth of generating capacity in molten salt. During the summer of 2013 the Gemasolar Thermosolar solar power-tower/molten-salt…
