Uae Opens Biggest Solar Power Station In The World

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5991241/uae-opens-biggest-solar-power-station-in-the-world The Shams Stick Affair opened their Shams 1 oppressive solar power station this week in Abu Dhabi. The station generates 100 MW and can power 20,000 homes spell reducing CO2 emissions by 175,000 masses per time. Not to be worsted, two companies in California deliberate solar towers yesterday that ghost generate 500 MW and power about 200,000 homes. But the Shams 1 project still holds the prime solar station label for now. The project took about two time and 600 million to build. Shams 1 has 258,048 parabolic mirrors that bring together sunlight which hits heat-transfer in doubt and hence flows throw down tubes to a heat exchanger. This process creates steam, which powers turbines to generate electricity. On the energy conjecture, the Mutual Arab Emirates is overall standard for oil and natural gas, but that doesn't rotten they can't build the largest solar station in the world in two time. Exterior, if you carry the finish with collapse you force as rectify go big. [TreeHugger]
