Operation modes of a solar tower plant. mode 3: solar-only operation; when the storage is fully charged, part of the available power is dumped (by defocusing an appropriate number of heliostats), mode 4: toward sunset, solar thermal power is decreasing, and additional power is delivered from storage, and

How do solar power towers work?

Traditional solar power towers are constrained in size by the height of the tower and closer heliostats blocking the line of sight of outer heliostats to the receiver. The use of the pit mine's "stadium seating" helps overcome the blocking constraint.
