Recently, the world’s tallest concentrating solar power tower has been installed in Dubai.

The tower is 262 meters high with a molten salt receiver (MSR) on top, which is a key component of all concentrated solar power plants. The tower receives concentrated radiation from a parabolic mirror and converts it into heat energy, which is stored in the form of molten salt and used to drive steam turbines, which can still provide electricity even after the sun goes down.

The solar tower is part of the fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar park project, which is worth $4.3 billion. The fourth phase of the solar park project combines concentrating solar thermal and photovoltaic technology with a rated power of 950MW. 700 MW CSP station, 600 MW from the parabolic basin complex, 100 MW from solar towers, and the other 250 MW from photovoltaic solar panels. Upon completion, the project will have the world's largest 15-hour heat storage capacity, allowing 24 hours to provide energy.

Solar power generation uses photovoltaic and concentrated solar technology to generate energy, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions and play an important role in energy saving and emission reduction in the world! Editor/Tian Zengpeng
