Umbutho weNsimbi yeHlabathi
Isixeko sase-Ouarzazate, esaziwa ngokuba yisango eliya kwiNtlango yaseSahara, sikwisithili sase-Agadir kumzantsi weMorocco. Ubungakanani bokukhanya kwelanga kulo mmandla bufikelela kwi-2635 kWh/m2 ngonyaka, nto leyo enobungakanani obukhulu bokukhanya kwelanga emhlabeni jikelele.
Kwiikhilomitha ezimbalwa emantla esixeko, amakhulu amawaka ezibuko aqokelelene kwidiski enkulu, enza isikhululo samandla elanga esigubungela ummandla weehektare ezingama-2500, esibizwa ngokuba yiNoor (esikhanyayo ngesiArabhu). Umbane wesikhululo samandla elanga ubandakanya phantse isiqingatha sombane ovuselelekayo waseMorocco.
Isikhululo samandla elanga sakhiwe zizitishi zamandla ezintathu ezahlukeneyo kwiSigaba soku-1 saseNoor, kwiSigaba sesi-2 saseNoor kunye nakwiSigaba sesi-3 saseNoor. Sinokubonelela ngombane kumakhaya angaphezu kwesigidi kwaye kulindeleke ukuba sinciphise iitoni ezingama-760,000 zokukhutshwa kwekhabhoni dayokhsayidi minyaka le. Kukho izibuko ezingama-537,000 zeparabolic kwisigaba sokuqala seSitishi saMandla saseNuer. Ngokujolisa elangeni, izibuko zifudumeza ioyile ekhethekileyo yokudlulisa ubushushu ehamba ngemibhobho yentsimbi engatyiwayo yesityalo sonke. Emva kokuba ioyile yokwenziwa ifudunyezwe ukuya kuthi ga kwi-390 degrees Celsius, iya kuthuthwa iye embindini. Izikhululo zamandla, apho kwenziwa khona umphunga, eziqhuba i-turbine ephambili ukuba ijike kwaye ivelise umbane. Ngomlinganiselo omangalisayo kunye nemveliso, iSitishi saMandla saseNur sesesithathu nesamva nje esiqhagamshelwe kwigridi kwihlabathi liphela. Isikhululo samandla elanga sifikelele kwinqanaba elikhulu lobuchwepheshe, elibonisa ukuba ishishini lokuvelisa umbane oluzinzileyo linethemba eliqaqambileyo lophuhliso.
intsimbi ibeke isiseko esiqinileyo sokusebenza okuzinzileyo kwesikhululo samandla siphela, kuba isixhobo sokutshintshiselana nobushushu, ijenereyitha yomphunga, imibhobho yobushushu obuphezulu kunye neetanki zokugcina ityuwa enyibilikisiweyo zesikhululo zonke zenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwaliyo yodidi olukhethekileyo.
Ityuwa enyibilikisiweyo inokugcina ubushushu, nto leyo evumela izitishi zamandla ukuba zivelise umbane ngamandla apheleleyo nokuba kusebumnyameni. Ukuze kufezekiswe injongo yokuvelisa umbane ogcweleyo iiyure ezingama-24, izitishi zamandla kufuneka zifake inani elikhulu letyuwa ekhethekileyo (umxube we-potassium nitrate kunye ne-sodium nitrate) kwinani elikhulu leetanki zentsimbi. Kuyaqondakala ukuba amandla etanki nganye yentsimbi yesityalo samandla elanga yi-19,400 cubic metres. Ityuwa enyibilikisiweyo kwitanki yentsimbi idla ngokubola kakhulu, ngoko ke iitanki zentsimbi zenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwali ye-UR™ 347 yodidi lobungcali. Le ntsimbi yodidi olukhethekileyo inokumelana nokugqwala okuhle kwaye kulula ukuyibumba nokuyidibanisa, ngoko ingasetyenziswa ngokulula.
Ekubeni amandla agcinwe kwitanki nganye yentsimbi anele ukuvelisa umbane rhoqo kangangeeyure ezisi-7, iNuer Complex inokubonelela ngombane imini yonke.
Njengoko amazwe “anebhanti yelanga” ephakathi kwe-40 degrees south latitude kunye ne-40 degrees north latitude etyala imali eninzi kushishino lokuvelisa umbane nge-photovoltaic, iNuer complex imele ikamva eliqaqambileyo kweli shishini, kwaye isakhiwo esikhulu sentsimbi esimangalisayo sipheleka iNuer complex ukuvelisa umbane. Uthutho oluluhlaza, oluhambelana nemozulu yonke ukuya kuzo zonke iindawo.
