abandoned solar power test site

abandoned test site for solar power mirrors

The site was part of an ambitious project of the company " Lysply S.A." to use solar energy. But it never went into operation due to several reasons like concerns of the locals. Actually this should have been only a testing area with 3 solar mirrors. - Tenerife

Tonopah, Nevada, has a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year and will provide power for 75,000 homes. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion.

This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video describes this.

A rain storm was moving across the promontory of Ponta do Queimado where the Serreta Lighthouse is located on the day I visited. A lighthouse was originally erected on this site in 1908. But like many structures on Terceira it was partially destroyed in the massive January 1, 1980 earthquake. It was torn down and in 1983 the old 12 meter high metal tower from Cacilhas lighthouse in Almada on mainland Portugal was brought over to the Azores to replace the original lighthouse. That structure was replaced in 2004 with the current light house shown in this photo. Solar energy powers the new light that sits on a 14-metre cylindrical fibreglass structure. This lighthouse requires no light keeper.

The crystal sphere - Valued for seeing the future but I'm happy seeing the present. The glass ball is like a converging lens giving a lovely distortion with all lines pointing to the center. Like being in the middle of a snow globe or rather sun globe. The image is flipped so the scene in the ball is right side up, feels better this way.

Today we are staying at Tonopah, Nevada. North-west of the town is a 110 megawatt solar thermal power plant called Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project. It will start operating later this year. The anticipated to cost is a bit less than $1 billion.

This solar power plant can operate 24/7 - hot salt in a big tank stores energy for use at night. A truly large-scale project. An overview video explains it.

The title is a play on a tail. The fossil fuel industry is riding on government subsidies and misses the boat. The renewable energy industry is smart and leaping ahead.

I climbed up a big sand dune to get a good vantage point. Walking barefoot was the easiest to get up on the dune. You see my steps at the crest.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, then merged them by blending 80% of the paintery version into the lower part of the scene.

Driving the change for better future

#renewableenergy is leading the much needed #change to tackle the #climatechange problem by balancing the Environment and economic need of #ourplanet Now most part of the #world #solarenergy is the cheapest form of energy but because of its intermittent nature it can not solve all our energy need all the time. So we are trying to club it with #Windenergy #batterystorage #hydrogenenergy #fuelcell and other #technologies along with upgrading the #electricalgrid to be more #robust and #smart

I did one similar to this last year and have been wanting to do another and perhaps improve on it. It symbolizes human as caretaker to our planet . So take care, it's all we got.

The glass ball is like a converging lens giving a lovely distortion with all lines pointing to the center. Like being in the middle of a snow globe or rather sun globe. The image is flipped as in my previous post so the scene in the ball is right side up.

Le pale eoliche catturano l’energia del vento, trasformandola in elettricità per il nostro uso. Questo processo è solo una piccola parte di un ciclo molto più vasto: l’incessante scambio di energia tra il Sole, la Terra e lo spazio.

Il Sole invia fotoni ad alta energia che attraversano l’atmosfera e riscaldano la superficie terrestre. La Terra, a sua volta, non trattiene questa energia all’infinito, ma la restituisce allo spazio sotto forma di radiazione infrarossa, composta da molti fotoni a bassa energia.

Questa trasformazione è cruciale per mantenere il pianeta abitabile: se la Terra trattenesse tutta l’energia ricevuta, sarebbe un inferno rovente.

Ma il bilancio energetico che si crea alimenta qualcosa di molto più straordinario: l’aumento di entropia e informazione. È da qui che nascono il vento, le correnti oceaniche, la vita stessa, e persino il pensiero umano.

La nostra capacità di catturare una minima parte di questo flusso—come fanno le pale eoliche—è un esempio di come possiamo convivere con le leggi della natura senza interromperne l’armonia. Il Sole continua a splendere, il vento a soffiare, e la Terra a trasformare l’energia, creando e rigenerando il nostro mondo in un equilibrio dinamico che sostiene ogni cosa, dalle onde ai cieli stellati, fino alla complessità della coscienza umana.
