  2. Solana Generating Station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solana_Generating_Station

    The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about 70 miles (110 km) southwest of Phoenix.It was completed in 2013. When commissioned, it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world, and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage. [3]

  3. Solar power in Arizona - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_Arizona

    In 2012, Arizona had 1,106 MW of photovoltaic (PV) solar power systems, and 6 MW of concentrated solar power (CSP), bringing the total to over 1,112 megawatts (MW) of solar power. As an example, the Solana Generating Station , a 280 MW parabolic trough solar plant, when commissioned in 2013, was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world ...

    This compares as about one-half the amount generated by Arizona's utility-scale solar plants. [1] Arizona's Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station located to the west of Phoenix is the nation's largest facility by annual energy production, and is the second largest facility by power capacity after Washington state's Grand Coulee Dam ...

  5. Steam–electric power station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam–electric_power_station

    Almost all coal, nuclear, geothermal, solar thermal electric power plants, waste incineration plants as well as many natural gas power plants are steam–electric. Natural gas is frequently combusted in gas turbines as well as boilers. The waste heat from a gas turbine can be used to raise steam, in a combined cycle plant that improves overall ...

  6. Solar energy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

    When electricity is needed, the hot salt is pumped to a conventional steam-generator to produce superheated steam for a turbine/generator as used in any conventional coal, oil, or nuclear power plant. A 100-megawatt turbine would need a tank about 9.1 metres (30 ft) tall and 24 metres (79 ft) in diameter to drive it for four hours by this design.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_the...

    There is a potential for nuclear-powered Stirling engines in electric power generation plants. Replacing the steam turbines of nuclear power plants with Stirling engines might simplify the plant, yield greater efficiency, and reduce the radioactive byproducts. A number of breeder reactor designs use liquid sodium as a coolant. If the heat is to ...
