Lake Cargelligo Solar Thermal Power Station
With the Lake Cargelligo Solar Thermal Power Station nearing completion, Engineers travelled from across NSW to be part of the Dubbo Group of Regional Engineers site inspection.
The Solar Thermal Power Station consists of a field of heliostats which concentrate solar energy onto a tower mounted carbon block through which water is circulated and heated to drive a steam generator.
Upon completion, the 3.5MW Generator can supply the peak demand of the nearby township, and demonstrate the capability of 'solar with storage' to offer electricity network support.
