Core Insights - The world's first "dual-tower one machine" solar thermal energy storage power plant is entering its final debugging phase and is about to begin full system trial operation [3][4] - Over 20,000 heliostats have successfully illuminated the west tower, indicating successful debugging [3][8] Technology and Innovation - The heliostats used in the project are not ordinary mirrors; their curvature allows for better concentration of solar energy [6] - The molten salt used for energy storage is solid at room temperature and transforms into liquid when heated above 200 degrees Celsius, with a boiling point of 570 degrees Celsius, providing several times the heat storage capacity compared to the same volume of water [6] Environmental Impact - The project is located in a previously inhospitable desert area, demonstrating the ability to convert sunlight into stable, clean energy without smoke or noise [8]
