Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant

This is the Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant in Andalucía, Spain, which is a type ofConcentrated Solar Power (CSP) plant. It works by reflecting sunlight off of heliostats (sun-tracking mirrors, basically) onto a tower where salts are heated. These heated salts are then used to create steam, which in turn runs a turbine that generates electricity. It is also capable of producing electricity day and night thanks to a salt storage system that can keep the turbine going for 16 hours. For more,watch this video. more
