Worlds biggest solar thermal power plant fired up in California

2013-09-25 19:04:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Grist: The 3,500-acre Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a startling sight in the Mojave Desert. Three sprawling units each contain a circular array of mirrors reflecting rays from the sun toward a 459-foot central tower. Water in the tower is heated by the rays to produce steam, which spins turbines and - voila - electricity is produced. It all seems a bit magical, but as of Tuesday, the world`s largest solar thermal power plant began feeding energy into a power grid for the first time. How...

NREL Calculates Emissions and Costs of Power Plant Cycling Necessary for Increased Wind and ...

2013-09-24 06:00:00| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today

Phase 2 of Western Wind and Solar Integration Study (WWSIS-2) quantifies potential impacts of increasing wind and solar power generation on operators of fossil-fueled power plants in West. Study finds carbon emissions induced by more frequent cycling are negligible (<0.2%) compared with carbon reductions achieved via wind and solar power generation. SO<sub>2</sub> emissions reductions from wind and solar are 5% less than expected, and emissions of nitrogen oxides are reduced 2% more than ...This story is related to the following:Green & CleanSearch for suppliers of:

InsideClimate: Two days before Gina McCarthy [3], the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, presented her landmark proposal to regulate carbon emissions from future electric plants, one of her main allies in Congress walked her down memory lane. Rep. Henry Waxman [4] reminded her that he once tried to help the coal industry pay for costly technology to capture carbon dioxide from power plants and pump it deep underground. "In 2009, the president supported market-based legislation to make major...

SME Times: India will build the world's largest 4,000 MW solar project in the western state of Rajasthan. The ultra-mega green solar power project would be built in two phases in an area close to Sambhar Lake, about 75 km from Jaipur. The first phase will be of 1000 MW and commissioned in three years - by the end of 2016, says Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises Minister Praful Patel. Patel had asked the Department of Heavy Industry (DHI) under his ministry to initiate the process of setting up...
