Local Environmental Conditions

Badaling Dahan located in Yanqing, Beijing, which is in the north of the Great Wall. There are many mountains. Yanqing has high altitude and strong solar radiation, large temperature differences between day and night.  The area has the richest solar energy resources in Beijing. The place also has abundant geothermal resources and wind resources.

Lessons Learned

Badaling Dahan 1MW Solar Tower Plant is the first MW-scale tower solar thermal power station in China and Asia.
The thermal storage system is a two-stage thermal storage, and the media are VP-1 and superheated steam.
