Solar physics at the Einstein Tower [PDF]
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2016 AbstractThe solar observatory Einstein Tower (Einsteinturm) at the Telegrafenberg in Potsdam is both a landmark of modern architecture and an important place for solar physics. Originally built for high‐resolution spectroscopy and measuring the gravitational redshift, research shifted over the years to understanding the active Sun and its magnetic ...

Solar tower enhanced natural draft dry cooling tower [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017 Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) plants are located in desert areas where the Direct Normal Irradiance (DNI) value is very high. Since water resource is scarcely available, mechanical draft cooing technology is commonly used, with power consumption of mechanical fans being approximately 2% of the total power generated.

, 1998 The high desert near Barstow, California, has witnessed the development of this country`s first two solar power towers. Solar One operated successfully from 1982 to 1988 and proved that power towers work efficiently to produce utility-scale power from sunlight. Solar Two was connected to the utility grid in 1996 and is operating today.
