OverviewDesign and specificationsPerformanceSee alsoExternal links

The plant is of the solar power tower type CSP and uses concepts pioneered in the Solar One and Solar Two demonstration projects, using molten salt as its heat transfer fluid and energy storage medium. Originally called Solar Tres, it was renamed Gemasolar. The project, which has received a subsidy of five million euros from the European Commission and a loan of 80 million euros from the European Investment Bank, makes use of the Solar Two tech

CASE STUDY ON THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE: GEMASOLAR

Torresol Energy''s Gemasolar plant is the first commercial1 concen-trating solar thermal power (CSP) plant to use a central receiver tower and two-tank molten salt thermal energy storage (TES) system. Formerly called "Solar Tres", Gemasolar was envisioned as a follow-on to the DOE''s late-1990s Solar Two demonstration proj-ect.
