Tower power plant in Almería
The locations of the new institute are Cologne, Jülich, Stuttgart and Almería. In Almería, researchers have been conducting research into solar power plants for 30 years. The solar tower power plant is surrounded by a mirror field that reflects solar radiation onto a receiver. The heat energy collected drives a turbine, thus generating electricity.
