Zero Emissions Solar Plant

Project number
16109
Organization
UA Department of Chemical and Environmental Engineering
Academic year
2016-2017
Solar power is becoming increasingly economically feasible. The goal of this project is to design a concentrated solar plant to power all the houses in Chandler, Arizona.

The plant consists of a central power tower filled with molten salt heated by solar energy, which allows the plant to produce large amounts of energy through various turbines and generators.

The plant creates zero emissions and, unlike similar solar plants, reuses all its water during steady-state operations. The economical feasibility of this type of plant has been determined.
