Power Plant

Solar thermal energy - fully developed and efficient. Solar thermal power plants play an increasing role in the energy supplies of the future.Research and develeopment efforts were already taking place in the USA in the 1980s, but were stopped and not started again until recent years. Solar thermal power plants achieve high efficiency and are a climate and resource-friendly form of energy production. In sun-rich regions they can be built and operated profitably for investors. In a conventional power plant, steam is produced through the burning of substances such as coal or oil. Under high pressure, the steam propels a turbine, which is connected to an electricity generator. The steam is condensed into water and fed back to the steam generator.
