Green power, driving the future

The Hexi Corridor, located at 40 degrees north latitude, is one of the regions in China with the richest solar energy resources. It is also an ideal location for clean and renewable energy, as well as for chasing sunlight day by day. There is the largest tower solar thermal 110 MW power generation project under construction in China.

The scorching sun in the desert provides a continuous source of energy. But the dust blown by strong winds can affect the efficiency of mirror work. Maintaining the cleanliness of the heliostat is a necessary means to achieve efficient power generation. The first step to accurately reflect the light spot onto the heat absorbing tower is to adjust the surface shape. A heliostat may appear flat, but it is actually a concave mirror. The angle of the concave surface determines the size and quality of the light spot. This heliostat has successfully passed the first step of testing. Whether it can be neat and uniform, focusing on the tower, is the key to whether the detection system is sensitive. The heliostat is neat and uniform, reflecting sunlight onto the heat collection tower, and can chase the sun like a sunflower. The entire tower became bright and dazzling.

Through the control system, high requirements have been put forward for the accuracy of the face type and the control system, control strategy, and tracking accuracy of the control mirror. High readiness ensures safe and efficient operation of the power station
