Want to know something else that is fun about the concentrated thermal projects? If the sun is not available for long periods of time and the fluid cools down

If the sun is not available for long periods of time and the fluid cools down too much they have to dump energy into it to prevent it from solidify to point of overwhelming the pumps capacity!
- notabee 8y agoSounds like a good reason to keep that kind of generation in the desert, then. That's interesting, though. I suppose they could just divert some power generation to battery storage for those heaters though, just like nuclear reactors have backup generators for cooling.
