Torresol’s Gemasolar power-tower installation has become the world's first concentrating solar power (CSP) plant to feed an uninterrupted supply of electricity into the grid over 24 hours.
This has been made possible by storing solar energy in molten salt, a cutting-edge thermal-transfer technology developed by SENER. The system is capable of fifteen hours of electricity production without solar radiation which overcomes fluctuations in the energy supply.
