Solana Generating Station
The Solana Generating Station is a solar power plant near Gila Bend, Arizona, about southwest of Phoenix, completed in 2013. When commissioned it was the largest parabolic trough plant in the world and the first U.S. solar plant with molten salt thermal energy storage.〔Mearian, Lucas. (U.S. flips switch on massive solar power array that also stores electricity: The array is first large U.S. solar plant with a thermal energy storage system ), October 10, 2013. Retrieved October 18, 2013.〕 Built by the Spanish company Abengoa Solar, it has a total capacity of 280 megawatts (MW) gross, from two 140 MW gross (125 MW net) steam turbine generators, which is enough to power 70,000 homes while avoiding around 475,000 tons of CO2 every year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Solana, the largest parabolic trough plant in the world )〕 Its name is the Spanish term for "sunny spot".〔("Solana" in wordreference.com )〕
==Technology==
The plant employs a proprietary concentrating solar power (CSP) trough technology developed by Abengoa, and covers an area of . Construction was expected to create about 1,500 construction jobs with the plant employing 85 full-time workers.〔( Abengoa to Build 280MW Concentrating Solar Power Plant in Arizona ), CleanEdge.com website, February 21, 2008.〕〔Lavelle, Marianne. (Big Solar Project Planned for Arizona Desert: $1 billion installation would use parabolic mirrors to generate power southwest of Phoenix ), ''U.S. News & World Report'', February 21, 2008.〕 Solar thermal plants use substantially more water for cooling than other solar generating technologies. Nevertheless, the Sierra Club supports the Solana plant, because it will be built on private land, and use "75 to 85 percent less water than the current agricultural use."〔
