Solar (Solar Tower) China and works Top

Looking for some news about the English Solar Tower, I found that of China is now operational. The last thing I know the English wikipedia is that in 2007 had to start building and in 2009 we still wait.
The China already operates:

The operation was launched on December 10, 2010, the power is 200 kilowatts, generating unit can supply 400,000 kWh of electricity annually, saving the equivalent of 100 tons of coal and 900 tons of water, compared with power generation by thermal plant. China is making efforts to control emissions to meet its commitment to reduce carbon dioxide emissions per unit of gross domestic product (GDP) between 40 to 50 percent in 2020. Based on the proposal of the twelfth "Five-Year Plan" of the country, which was launched by the Communist Party of China Central Committee in late October, China must make "binding targets" on reducing the intensity of energy consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide during the period 2011 - 2015.Apoyado by the Ministry of Science and Technology of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Government, the project was co-designed and developed by Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology ( IMUST) and the Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain. "It took us three years to solve technical bottlenecks, said Professor Wei Yili with IMUST, a team member in the project.

The installation, composed of three parts - solar collectors, a fireplace and a turbine generator - absorbs heat from the hot sand under the cover glass to the greenhouse effect, the flow of hot air transmitted to the fireplace and turning off power generation within ella.La turbine energy stored in the sand, warmed by the sun during the day, download the heat at night and continued operation of the turbine, according to Wei. "A feat of this service is that an air curtain has been added to integrate wind energy power supply that allows the system to operate in winter, when the sun is minimal. Thus, the system can operate 365 days a year all day, "said Wei.Financiado by a local company in Inner Mongolia with 1.38 billion yuan ($ 208 million, or € 160 million), construction the project began in May 2009. consist of three phases and will cover a combined area of \u200b\u200b277 hectares and its total generation capacity will reach 27.5 MW after the final phase was completed in 2013.

The energy generated by the plant will be transferred to the network of Inner Mongolia Province Hebei, which provides electricity to Beijing, along with Mongolia and Hebei Interior.Wei also noted that the most important substance in the technology was sand, which absorbs heat and stored energy. Therefore, the vast western desert of Inner Mongolia becomes the perfect place to locate a plant that tipo.Más solar chimney plants of this kind will be built, taking advantage of 2.6 million square kilometers of desert in China as "resources," said Wei. "energy savings, in addition to restricting the sandstorms, covering the sand in motion, the solar chimney power plant is of great importance to improve the climate," said Wei

New details on the prototype of 200 kW Solar Chimney built in China, Mongolia Interior, in the town of Wuhai

The power plant has a solar chimney collector 6,170 m2, the height of the tower is 53 m, the diameter of the tower is 18 m , the hangar deck installation is 251 m2. The collector - greenhouse is oval. Download

hot air flows for generating solar energy and its application in Wuhai City in Inner Mongolia of China (Solar hot air-flows power generation and Its application in Wuhai Inner Montgolia)

The Jinsha Bay region Wuhai, Inner Mongolia (China) built an experimental prototype solar chimney power of 200 kW.
The Jinsha Bay region Wuhai has unique advantages for building a power plant with solar chimney:
(1) sunlight, enough power for a very long period;
(2) the resource wealth of the desert sand serves as a storage medium heat;
(3) construction materials, methods of work and workers are available locally, only uses glass, cement and steel
(4) a convenient place for transportation;
(5) a unique weather conditions: a temperate continental arid dry and windy throughout the year, helping to improve the speed of flow air.

So Wuhai Jinsha Bay to vote for the construction of solar power plants in the desert. Currently
Wuhai Jinsha Bay region have already built a prototype demonstration of 200 kW of power with the technology of solar chimneys.

total capacity provided by this project is 27.5 MW, representing a total of 2,780,000 m2 of desert occupied by a greenhouse collector, and a total investment of 1.38 billion yuan.

Work will be performed in three phases: First phase
project has already been completed between May 2009 and December 2010 and served to build a demonstration prototype solar chimney power of 200 kW, with a tower of 53 m and 18 m in diameter, occupying 40,000 m2 of desert and represents an investment of 1 million yuan;
the second phase project has just started in February 2011 and will run until December 2011 to complete construction of a power plant with solar chimney of 2.2 MW. This demonstration system will occupy 220,000 m2 of the desert and the planned investment is 110 million Yuan;
the third phase of the project was carried out between January 2012 and December 2013, or are two years to allow construction a power plant of 25.1 MW solar chimney, with a greenhouse collector occupying a desert area of \u200b\u200b2,510,000 m2, investment will be of 1260 million yuan (1.26 billion Chinese Yuan).
