Project Scale:

The CGN Golmud 350MW CSP Demonstration (Pilot) Project has an installed capacity of 1×350MW, adopting a molten salt tower and trough combined solar thermal power generation technology route. The total heliostat field light-collecting area of this project is 3.7 million m², including 3.3 million m² of tower-type heliostat field (featuring three receiver towers, each corresponding to a heliostat field area of 1.1 million m²) and 0.4 million m² of trough-type heliostat field. It includes 1 set of molten salt thermal energy storage system (with 15 hours of storage duration), 1 set of steam generation system, and 1 subcritical, single reheat, 8-stage regenerative, direct air-cooled, condensing turbine generator unit with a rated capacity of 350MW. The project plans to connect via one 330kV line to the Yichu CSP 330kV step-up substation, which will then connect to the Kunlun Mountain 750kV substation. The project is scheduled to commence construction on May 31, 2026, and be operational by May 31, 2028.
