Solar power plant working day and night





The power plant will run on solar energy in the daytime, but at nightfall, you will use the backup resources. This method of providing power is optimal for emerging economies.

Company AORA has invested more than $ 40 million in research conducted over six years, required for development of the project, and are now ready for the practical application of their developments. The contract for building the first hybrid power plant in Ethiopia has been signed. Work is expected to start in mid-2015. For this selected area remote from the main grid.

Externally, the plant will resemble a Tulip flower. It will use (in addition to solar energy) biogas and heated air, which will be driven by the turbine blades. The result will generate about 100 kW of electricity. The air will be heated to a temperature exceeding 980 degrees, using a system of mirrors mounted on the ground and aimed towards the "flower". By nightfall, the turbine will spin at the expense of biogas from animal waste. You can also use biodiesel or any other combustible material.
