The plant consists of 624 heliostats which focus the solar beams on a central collector tower. The solar power is then transferred to water in receivers located inside the tower and transformed into steam, generating energy across a turbine. Each heliostat has a surface of approximately 121m2; being the total extension of the solar plant, approximately, 60 Has. Located inside the tower are a solar receiver consisting of four changeable panels, water tank in capping, a reheater, a degasser and several steam and water pipelines. We performed the entire turn-key civil work: from the architectural design, to the installation of the emergency lighting.  *With a nominal power of 11 MWe, the PS-10 tower produces approximately 24.2 GWh of power annually. The ingenuitive design has been recognized worldwide, appearing in publications such as Civil Engineering, Newsweek and US Today.* ![solar-tower.jpg](https://www.icc-commonwealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/2018%20ComDynam%20Site/solar-tower.jpg?width=576&name=solar-tower.jpg "solar-tower.jpg") ![Construction of the PS-10 Solar Tower](https://www.icc-commonwealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imgs/PS-10_construction.jpg?width=250&name=PS-10_construction.jpg "Construction of the PS-10 Solar Tower") ![PS10 Solar Power Tower](https://www.icc-commonwealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/images/imgs/PS-10_crop.jpg?width=250&name=PS-10_crop.jpg "PS10 Solar Power Tower") [![gda-usa logo_wht](https://www.icc-commonwealth.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gda-usa%20logo_wht.png?width=293&height=187&name=gda-usa%20logo_wht.png "gda-usa logo_wht")](http://www.dominion-global.com/en) #### ICC Commonwealth a division of Global Dominion Access, USA 795 Wurlitzer Drive N Tonawanda, New York 14120-3039 716.634.3967 ### Subscribe to Our Blog
