The Vast Solar Port Augusta Concentrated Solar Thermal Power Project involves the development, construction and operation of a 30 MW / 288 MWh Concentrated Solar Thermal Power (CSP) plant at Port Augusta, South Australia.
If the original plan for Port Augusta had come to fruition, a massive concentrated solar power plant about 30 kilometres north of the town, built by US company SolarReserve, would have been producing 495 GWh annually.
And it was just what Port Augusta needed. The solar resource measuring station on Carriewerloo Station near Port Augusta, established by Solar Reserve. Gary Rowbottom helped set it up, monitor its initial operation and sort out teething problems. It sent data to the US.
L ike a phoenix rising from the ashes, Port Augusta’s concentrated solar thermal power plant is back from the dead. While it’s ten years too late for a smooth transition from coal-fired power to the solar-heated variety in the ‘Crossroads Town,’ it might be just in time for other coal towns approaching their own uncertain futures.
This modular, 3500 heliostat pilot facility, is Australia’s first grid-connected concentrated solar power plant with thermal energy storage, designed to achieve high efficiency at low cost. Each of its five, small array-modules concentrate solar radiation on a dedicated thermal receiver tower 27 metres in height.
Vast Solar has been assessing potential locations for its technology and Port Augusta is ideal thanks to its quality solar resource, a strong electrical grid and sizeable and growing local demand complemented by enduring support for CSP from the local community.
