Document Description
The proposed project involves the construction of a 7.5 megawatt (MW) solar power generating facility. Ground-mounted heliostats would be constructed to focus the sun's energy on a water/steam receiver mounted on a tower with two towers proposed for this facility. Each tower mounted receiver is supplied solar energy by two fields of heliostats (north and south). Energy absorbed into the receivers is collected in a header or accumulator and directed to a steam turbine generator. Turbine exhaust will be cooled by a water cooled condenser and modern modular cooling tower. Two water evaporation ponds would be located next to the generator building to collect excess water. All water for the operation of the solar generating facility would be provided by recycled water.
