Development of Spain solar energy
Gemasolar a solar-power plant build in southern Spain supported mainly by Masdar a sustainable energy company in Abu Dhabi, The plant is used to generate electricity throughout the whole year period. However, the challenge is to maximize the outcome of energy in the plant to the limit, The role of gemasolar is quite simple which is the transfer of heat energy from the sun to a medium that stores this energy like molten salt then the energy of the medium powers a steam turbine that eventually generate electricity, The plan of reflecting greatly much more radiation is by installing heliostats to reflective boards which tracks the sun energy, Upgrading the tower with magnifying glass for focusing the radiation making it much hotter. A major conflict in the cabling system made it difficult connecting each heliostat to the control system where you have many cables all over the place.
