One of the three Luz International solar energy complexes in the Mojave Desert,California. Together these sites,which cover 1000 acres,generate 275 megawatts of electricity,90% of the world's total grid-connected solar energy production. This installation,located at Kramer Junction,has an array of 650,000 computer- controlled parabolic mirrors which track the sun across the sky,focusing it's light onto tubes containing a synthetic oil. The oil,which is thus super-heated to 391 degrees Centigrade,is used to boil water for steam turbine generators in one of five power plants | |
