The largest concentrated solar energy (CSP) undertaking on this planet has been unveiled in Dubai, inside the fourth part of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
The undertaking was inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
The 950-megawatt (MW) fourth part, which covers an space of 44 sq. kilometres, makes use of three hybrid applied sciences: 600MW from a parabolic basin advanced, 100MW from the CSP tower, and 250MW from photovoltaic photo voltaic panels.
Built at a value of AED 15.78 billion, the undertaking additionally options the tallest photo voltaic tower on this planet (263.126 metres), and the most important thermal vitality storage capability (5,907 megawatt hours), in keeping with the Guinness World Records.
The Molten Salt Receiver (MSR) on prime of the solar energy tower is the core and most essential a part of the CSP plant.
It receives photo voltaic radiation and turns it into thermal vitality. The MSR comprises over 1,000 skinny tubes that allow the absorption of solar rays and their switch to the molten salt inside these tubes.
This undertaking will present almost 320,000 residences with clear and sustainable vitality. It can even cut back carbon emissions by about 1.6 million tonnes yearly.
