Talk:Mildura Solar Concentrator Power Station

message: The article mentions that the power station will help with reducing salinity. I emailed Solar Systems, and this is what they said:
"Salinity interception schemes in the area pump saline ground water to the surface (reducing the water table) evaporate the water in an old lake or depression. Salt is harvested as a byproduct. Typically these schemes evaporate around 3 gigalitres of saline water per year, and the limiting factor is the evaporation rate.
Our power station will be sited near salt-affected land, and will be integrated with existing/proposed salinity interception schemes. We reject heat into the saline water stream, evaporating around 1 gigalitre of water. The saline stream then goes on to the lake as before, but is "preconcentrated". Thus we add around 25% to the saline interception extraction volume while helping to protect high-value agricultural land."

thread_title:  Area 

message: It seems like a good project. Calculated with Croatian price of electric energy (and solar power plant gives energy in daylight time when the expensive tariff is applied), similar power plant in Croatia would pay itself out in about 7 years.
The question of the area used for the solar power plant is also a good one. -- Mtodorov 69 (talk) 20:40, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The tallest structure on the earth is not this tower, which has not been built. How much is the area to be covered ? Good question, something like that would cost more then an entire medium city (dish diameter 6km). Are there any kind of cost estimation? Any return estimation is it possible?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.81.7.56 (talk) 20:00, 5 July 2011 (UTC)

message: The CS500 system is not likely to be the system used at this plant. It will most probably be a heliostat system.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.58.127 (talk) 23:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
