Shams-1, the largest solar power plant in the Middle East Opened Today in Abu Dhabi
LOOK AT THIS INTERESTING AND AMAZING VIDEO Shams-1, the largest solar power plant in the Middle East Shams-1 is a 100 megawatt (MW) parabolic trough plant, located in Madinat Zayed, approximately 75 miles southwest of Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates). Construction began in the summer of 2010 and it?s slated to go online in 2012. This project is a joint venture of Masdar, Abengoa Solar and Total. Project details The Shams-1 plant, covering around 741 acres of desert in Abu Dhabi, has a solar field of nearly 6,458,346 sq. ft. where 768 Abengoa Solar parabolic troughs will operate and generate 100 MW of solar power. Shams-1 incorporates state-of-the-art parabolic trough technology. Among other innovative features, highlights include the plant?s dry-cooling system and its auxiliary heating boiler. The dry-cooling system significantly reduces water consumption, while the auxiliary boiler, which heats the steam as it enters the turbine, boosts the cycle?s efficiency. The project is developed through a joint venture formed by Masdar, Total and Abengoa Solar. http://www.abengoasolar.com/web/en/nuestras_plantas/plantas_en_construccion/emiratos_arabes_unidos/ Sharing Information in Public Interest and the links provided for credits |
