I wonder if you could do a hybrid concentrated solar/geothermal power plant with both a high temp steam power turbine and a lower temp power system (refrigerator compressor running backwards, temperature differences making electricity instead of electricity making temperature differences) basically you uses solar in the day and the geothermal resource at night, throwing any excess solar generated heat underground.
This is a great video about solar power. I definitely researching more about solar energy overall and switching your home and living green! You'll save so much money in the long run. My family just bought solar panels from SILICON SOLAR and it's been really amazing.
Hello.. I have a query please.. While the HTF in the parabolic trough system reaches as hot as 390 C or so, how the steam temperature (that runs the turbine) can be raised to more than 500 C ? Thanks a lot
Where are your numbers from? You might have mixed up different systems (trough, tower) and/or different heat transfer media. You can't get steam of 500 degree celsius with thermal oil, but for instance with molten salt. The Gemasolar solar power plant (solar tower) would be an example for over 500 C with molten salt. "Nevada Solar One" (parabolic trough) uses thermal oil, which can be heated up to 400 C.
The system works only efficiently if the sun is traveling high up, right? Otherwise, the efficiency would be low because the movement is limited to one axis. Meaning it would be only efficient in the region of the equator.
Collectors are one time cost and they don't cost much more then the money spent on the fuel for a conventional power plant over its life time. There are already several gigawatt solar plants going up in Arizona. Would be better if there were more but it's a start..
Interesting! Could you elaborate or are you willing to refer to more information about the criticism on CSP or the benefits/explanation of PV / VAST etc. Much appreciated!
Excuse me, but how large are these plants? I would like to know because I am doing a project and I have a limited space to make things to generate electricity.
no idea, if i lived in a country where it was practical to produce energy this way, i'd be unequivocally for it. write your congressman or senator or whoever
Haha, I was thinking about storaging heat. There is still something missing in this idea, you can use it for desaltination of sea water and use that water to provide energy trough a water power central.
@mrhippo79. Stop mixing up the numbers here! 250MW peak times 8760hours a year equals = 2,19TWh. (250 * 10^6 J / s * 8760h/year). Of course its not peak all the time (because of night and shade and sun - angles) . Say its peak sunny about 2500 hours/year. Then the produced amount would be: 250MW * 2500h/year = 0.625TWh or 625GWh. Still a handsome amount of power from a desert that can't produce anything else of value.
@@J0E1L3 Usually, heat storage is just for a couple of full-load-hours. To shift solar energy from midday to the evening (rather high energy demand). There is no CSP-plant which can run on buffered heat for days. On cloudy days, there is no electricity production. Some CSP-plants are hybrids and can run on natural gas too.
Less if you count all the strip mining devastation. Not to mention the toxic fumes, the radioactive ash (yes, coal power plants emit more radioactivity in the surrounding area than nuclear power plants), the increasing costs of operating and maintenance. (and the eventual running out of coal).
I just figured out how to produce energy that can be given back the grid in Arizona three to four times a day in Alaska the same amount and how I thought to do this how can we do this so that the homeowner never has to worry about the longevity of their batteries anymore and we do it by converting to capacitor high low capacitors that are capable of storing the years worth of energy capacitors that can give back to grid three or four times a day capacitors capacitors people we need to do this I don't even have a home yet but my first home is going to have solar panels with capacitors
+Reuben JJ Unless you're trolling this is funny, but due to the climate change many animal species have been severely affected, many have died. the main reason of climate change is due to pollution, which generates the green house effect, you may say many birds are dying, but if we as society don't do anything about it, your precious birds wont exist anymore.
I LOVE IT! Thank you very much!
hi
Hi@@JennissaTorres
Thank goodness for TH-cam. Awesome
we are waiting ... hope someday in Bangladesh we will see the use of this kind of CSP
I like this vid
Being in the energy industry has it's pluses when it comes to education.

@SparxHCS 250MW generated on the instant, not MWh

What is the maintenance cost? I heard good things about molten salt.
How about reflective solar cells.
Why you use heated salt! Stay hot while clouds are out!

really nice explanation!!
How electricity can a single house generate by itself?
How much? Depends on energy needs, usually 4kw-10kw.
Combine this with nuclear, geothermal and hydroelectric and you'll be able to create enough energy for everyone.
Brutherr,,, say it again🗣️
@@Rocket_ManCombine this with nuclear, geothermal and hydroelectric and you'll be able to create enough energy for everyone.

Ina wise words of Pino

Acres usually, you may need regular solar panels.
If you didn't find out all of them are quite large. Like 1 square mile and up.

I’m from the future
*_ummm this didnt teach me 3 ways how we could improve the harvesting of solar energy_*
Chile is working very hard on it in Atacama desert...take a look
@questionsleadtotruth What's your alternative for money? nice username by the way
Really Groovy!!!!!!

Impressive.
Thanks for watching!

SINGLE PLANT CAN GENERATE 250 MW ?
WHAT ABOUT COST PER 250 MW ?
The Department of Energy appears to be busy. Keep it up! What about the use of magnetic current?
I’m from the future
For ALL your SOLAR needs, you can find it here!

so what happens on cloudy days?
The stored heated fluid is used
@@J0E1L3 Usually, heat storage is just for a couple of full-load-hours. To shift solar energy from midday to the evening (rather high energy demand).

so cool
Forgot to mention molten salt thermal energy storage
How did i get here…
THAT! WAS! AWESOME!
i loved that so much, what an awesome way to change the world! fantastic!!!! :D
Big thanks :)
khelifa ob, Thanks for watching our video!
Imagine if you could do that, but instead of just one little tower, it’s an entire sphere that’s 50,000 feet in diameter
Super KOOOOOOLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hi
How much land would such a power plant need compared to a modern coal burner?
Less if you count all the strip mining devastation. Not to mention the toxic fumes, the radioactive ash (yes, coal power plants emit more radioactivity in the surrounding area than nuclear power plants), the increasing costs of operating and maintenance. (and the eventual running out of coal).
A decade later and here I am doing science. Whos here in 2030?
(it'll make sense in the future C: )
there is no L in trough
Go, go, go!
I love America and all Americans
Molten salt FTW! Especially for terraforming Venus.
GET ON IT
I'm loving it :)
WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR?!
Everybody should be responsible for their own power and each house be powered with solar energy.
@SunGreenSolarEnergy a tiny almost unmeassurable ammount
So even the department of energy has a TH-cam channel nowadays eh, lol guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Why did you all allow scope to destroy the ice sheet with middlesboro police department?
That is closer to solar thermal, not solar concentrated.
Here is the beautiful Solar post cap lights : amazon.com/shops/sogrand
I did it quickly and efficiently with instructions from Avasva webpage.
Take a look about Atacama proyect ...
Who else is doing this for school?
