The solar power station is located approximately 120 kilometres (75\u00a0mi) southwest of Abu Dhabi and 6 kilometres (4\u00a0mi) from Madinat Zayed on the road from Tarif to the Liwa Oasis.[3]The Shams station is planned to eventually include 3 plants: Shams\u00a01 became operational on 17 March 2013.[1][4] Using parabolic trough technology with a capacity of 100\u00a0megawatts (MW), Shams\u00a01 was the largest  concentrated solar power (CSP) facility in the world when it opened.[5][6]  Shams\u00a01 will be followed by the Shams\u00a02 and Shams\u00a03 power plants.[1][7] The website Shamspower describes the impact and sustainability factors of the solar power plant.Description[edit]  Shams\u00a01 is a 100\u00a0MW concentrating solar power station which uses parabolic trough technology.  It displaces 175,000\u00a0tons of CO2 per year and its power output is enough to power 20,000\u00a0homes.  The station  consists of 258,048\u00a0parabolic trough mirrors, 192\u00a0solar collector assembly loops with 8\u00a0solar collector assemblies per loop, 768\u00a0solar collector assembly units, and 27,648\u00a0absorber pipes. It covers an area of approximately 2.5 square kilometres (0.97\u00a0sq\u00a0mi).[8][9]The basic and detailed engineering have been developed by AG Ingenier\u00eda. The project is consulted by Fichtner Consulting Engineers.[10]  The equipment is designed and delivered by Foster Wheeler.[11]  The power station is equipped by Abengoa Solar’s ASTRO collectors. The 125\u00a0MW steam turbine is provided by MAN Turbo, parabolic glass mirrors are provided by Flabeg, PTR\u00a070 absorber tubes are provided by Schott AG, and Therminol heat transfer fluid is provided by Solutia.[6][12]In October 2010 it was reported that because of “substantial” atmospheric dust, solar radiation received by Shams’ solar collectors was less than expected and more collectors would be required.[3]Technical specifications[edit]Solar-Field Aperture Area: 627,840 m\u00b2[2]Number of Loops: 192[2]Number of SCAs per Loop: 4[2]SCA Length: 150 m[2]Number of Modules per SCA: 12[2]SCA Manufacturer (Model): Abengoa Solar (ASTRO)[2]Mirror Manufacturer (Model): Flabeg (RP3)[2]Number of Heat Collector Elements (HCEs): 27,648[2]HCE Manufacturer (Model): Schott (PTR 70)[2]Heat-Transfer Fluid Type: Therminol VP-1[2]HTF Company: Solutia[2]Solar-Field Inlet Temp: 300\u00b0[2]Solar-Field Outlet Temp: 400\u00b0[2]Turbine Manufacturer:\tMAN[2]Output Type: Steam Rankine[2]Cooling Method: Dry cooling[2]Fossil Backup Type: Natural Gas Boiler[2]Developer[edit]The project is developed by the Shams Power Company, a special purpose vehicle of Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) in cooperation with Spain’s Abengoa Solar and France’s Total S.A.[3]  Masdar has 60% in the project while Abengoa Solar and Total\u00a0S.A. each have 20%.[13]  The power station is developed under a 25-year build, own and operate contract. Bids to build and operate the power station were made by several international consortia. In addition to Abengoa Solar and Total S.A., Saudi Arabia’s ACWA Power and Spain’s Iberdrola, Germany’s MAN Ferrostaal and Solar Millennium, and Spain’s Grupo Cobra and Grupo Sener made their bids.[10]Financing[edit]The construction cost of Shams\u00a01 is about US$600\u00a0million.[4][3]  The project is financed by 10\u00a0regional and international lenders including BNP Paribas, the National Bank of Abu Dhabi and Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 G\u00e9n\u00e9rale.[8]See also[edit]References[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki14\/shams-solar-power-station-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Shams Solar Power Station – Wikipedia"}}]}]
