Solar Thermal Energy Generating System

Project goal: To design a solar energy plant that uses directed sunlight to produce electricity with zero emissions. The plant uses sustainable technology and renewable energy to produce electricity. The design includes solar arrays that direct sunlight to heat molten salt in a closed pipe circuit. The molten salt passes through a heat exchanger that transfers the heat to carbon dioxide. The super-critical carbon dioxide is used to spin a turbine, creating usable electricity. This system does not use water in any form for electricity generation, and can operate during the night due to a storage system that retains the heat of the molten salt.
