The different kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat storage. Each of these has different advantages and disadvantages that determine their applications. Sensible heat storage (SHS) is the most straightforward method. It simply means the temperature of some medium is either increased or decreased. This type of storage is the most commerciall. Thermal energy storage (TES) is a technology that stocks thermal energy by heating or cooling a storage medium so that the stored energy can be used at a later time for heating and cooling applications and power generation. TES systems are used particularly in buildings and in industrial processes. [pdf]

Gemasolar is the first commercial solar plant with central tower receiver and molten salt heat storage technology. It consists of a 30.5-hectare (75-acre) solar heliostat aperture area with a power island and 2,650 heliostats, each with a 120-square-metre (1,300 sq ft) aperture area and distributed in concentric rings around. . Gemasolar is a plant with a molten salt heat storage system. It is located within the city limits of in the province of , . . After the second year of operation the plant has exceeded projected expectations. In 2013, the plant achieved continuous production, operating 24 hours per day for 36 consecutive days, a result which no other solar plant has attained so far. Total operation is. . • • • .

Gemasolar is a 19.9 MWe thermosolar power plant with 120 MWt molten salt central receiver. Solar field of 310,000 m 2 mirror surface. Solar thermal energy collected and stored in molten salts for 15 hours of production, and steam turbine with 3 pressure levels.
Gemasolar is the first commercial plant in the world to use the high temperature tower receiver technology together with molten salt thermal storage of very long duration. Gemasolar is a 19.9 MWe thermosolar power plant with 120 MWt molten salt central receiver. Solar field of 310,000 m 2 mirror surface.
This page provides information on Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant / Solar TRES CSP project, a concentrating solar power (CSP) project, with data organized by background, participants, and power plant configuration.
It makes use of several advances in technology after Solar Two was designed and built. Gemasolar is the first commercial solar plant with central tower receiver and molten salt heat storage technology.
The Gemasolar power plant has a thermal storage system which stores part of the heat produced in the solar field during the day in a molten salt mixture of 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate. A full storage tank can be used to operate the turbine for about 15 hours at full-load when the sky is overcast or after sunset.
Gemasolar is able to produce 80 GWh per year, generate enough power to supply 27,500 households and reduce by more than 28,000 tons per year the CO 2 emissions. Total mirror surface: 310,000 m2. Number of heliostats: 2,650. Field surface area: 195 Ha. Receiver capacity: 120 MWt. Tower height: 140 m. Thermal storage capacity: 670 MWhth (15 h).
