.
.
Gemasolar is a concentrated solar power plant with a molten salt heat storage system. It is located within the city limits of Fuentes de Andalucía in the province of Seville, Spain.
.
The inclusion of a novel molten-salt heat storage system permits the production of electricity in the absence of solar radiation.
.
The heat collected by the salts (capable of reaching temperatures above 500º) generates steam and produces electrical power. The surplus heat accumulated during sun hours is stored in the molten-salt tank.
.
In this way, Gemasolar can produce electrical power 24 hours a day for many months of the year.
