Badaling 1MWt molten salt tower power plant

Molten salt tower technology is successful due to its advantage on high operation temperature and non-intermittence electricity production. In order to overcome the potential devastating risks, a small scale experimental pilot is needed to validate and find average technical solution at low cost. Also, the pilot’s operation can help improve the key equipment design, understand molten salt system integration and optimize molten salt system design. This paper introduces the Badaling 1MWt molten salt solar tower power system in detail.
