Summary Practice 1

Gemasolar is a new solar power plant backed by Abu Dhabi's energy company Masdar and the Spanish engineering firm. Gemasolar is the first solar power getting heat from the sun and converted into electricity for 24 hours. The idea of ​​producing electricity is creating electricity by using large mirrors to transfer the heat energy from sun rays. Then, the sun rays moving from mirrors to the receiver, so the molten salt pumped up to the receiver where it is heated by the rays. After that, creating steam which generates electricity. Mirrors must not be large so then they would wobble in the wind or need steel support and they also had to build a separate control system to manage it.
