At present, there are nearly 8 15MW trough power stations under construction and about 1454MW trough power stations under planning.
As for the tower power station, the previous solar energy I and solar energy II in the United States have long since ceased to operate. At present, the iron tower project under construction is about 502MW, which has not been put into operation and has not been tested for operational stability, and is in the demonstration stage; Of course, there are about 3 105MW tower power stations in the planning, and the growth rate of the tower becomes faster from the planning;
As for the dish-shaped part, it seems that the United States has not seen the projects under construction, and the planned projects are only 100MW, and the technical route is still unknown.
As can be seen from the above, it is a realistic trend for the development path to move from the most mature valley to the tower. From our national conditions, although many iron tower projects are being implemented and demonstrated, the effect needs to be verified; Although the slot technology is mature, it is not as simple as you think. At present, I think it is necessary to proceed step by step, in both directions at the same time, depending on the results and efficiency. Don't let foreign advanced technology deteriorate here.
In the end, nothing will be developed and some unfinished buildings will be built.
