Akse County's Giant Tower Concentrated Solar Power Plant: How "Sunflowers" on the Gobi Desert Illuminate the Night?
Akse County's Giant Tower Concentrated Solar Power Plant: How "Sunflowers" on the Gobi Desert Illuminate the Night?Located in Akse County, Jiuquan City, at the westernmost end of the Hexi Corridor, a recently grid-connected tower concentrated solar power (CSP) project, the largest single-unit project under construction in China, has begun operation. Situated on a Gobi Desert plateau nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, with temperatures plummeting to -15, this project utilizes advanced technology to convert the desert's abundant solar energy into a continuous supply of electricity, even at night, opening new avenues for green energy utilization...
