nice to see a solar thermal plant that doesn't set fire to birds. Unfortunately they are considering the eye of sauron design for the third phase of the project. Maybe there are no birds there. While it may only average 42 MW year round, 35 days of the year it produces nothing and it probably takes some time in the morning for things to heat up before any energy can be produced, so say 12 hours of darkness a day it produces nothing and the three hours of heat storage and three hours of morning start up time cancel out. Then it averages 92 MW when it is actually generating. I wonder what types of adjustments have to be made to the design of the plant to endure being thermally cycled every day.
