The solar field has an aperture area of 230,300 m 2. The solar field outlet temperature is 349 °C. The power block is characterized by a turbine capacity of 30 MW net and 33 MW gross, the power cycle Pressure is 40 bar, and the turbine efficiency is 30.6%. There is fossil fuel backup (or boost) by NG.
Energy Storage Projects: a global overview of trends and
who controls the storage facility: if you are the owner of the energy storage facility you will often look to contract with the local utility to provide network services or even just power. If there is a storage device connected to a generator, such as a solar PV plant, your offtaker is likely to want to take your output from a single connection point.
