The 4th largest solar power plant in the United States.
The Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System is a concentrated solar thermal plant in the Mojave Desert. It is located at the base of Clark Mountain in California, across the state line from Primm, Nevada. The plant has a gross capacity of 392 megawatts (MW). [8] .
Ivanpah uses power tower solar thermal technology to generate power by creating high-temperature steam to drive a conventional steam turbine. Mirrors are used to concentrate sunlight and create steam, which is then converted to electricity.
This page provides information on Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System CSP project, a concentrating solar power (CSP) project, with data organized by background, participants, and power plant configuration.
It is certainly the largest thermal solar power plant, with 3,500 acres of mirrors mounted on 173,500 heliostats, which track the sun, focusing it on three 450 foot tall towers full of flowing water, which generates steam, then electricity–as much as 392 megawatts.
13 Μαρ 2014 · As the map below shows, the areas of deepest red shading are blessed with this remarkably intense level of solar radiation. That's a huge area of land, and the available energy must be mind-bendingly large.
26 Αυγ 2013 · A new virtual tour of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System brings the world’s largest solar thermal plant to life on the web. The Ivanpah virtual tour is a collection of images stitched together to offer dramatic 360° views of this truly iconic project.
