Turkey’s first local solar tower built in southern city

[Aegis DDG]

I read this article past week. If you remember our thread about Akkuyu and Sinop Nuclear reactors.

Akkuyu Reactor produces 4800 MW electricity and costs $20 Billion.

Now they say this tower produces 5 MW of thermal power at a cost of $50 milion. But there is 2 parameters that we have to take in to equation. Efficieny Ratio and The Efficiency Ratio to convert thermal power to electricity.

Efficiency Ratio in a solar system is 0.3 (due to weather)
The Efficiency Ratio to convert thermal power to electricity should be around 0.8 (due to friction of steam pipes, moving mechanical parts, turbine etc..)

So the number of the total solar towers which will be the equivalent of the Akkuyu Nuclear reactor should be.
4800 MW/(5 MW x 0.8 x 0.3) = 6000

For a cost of $50 million x 6000 = $300 Billion (Lets not forget we are not paying for the construction of the Akkuyu)

I didn't find this system feasable.

You seem very proliferate in even making Basics of Mathematics seem complex yet logical I can see you are an great Mechanical engineer. What do you do?

Simply, i'm designing "building mechanics" now. (Heating, Ventilating, Cooling, etc....)

I had some knowledge about renewable sources/plants.

As my final project was:

Designing, Doing a analizing by using CFD program (Computational fluid dynamics Computational fluid dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) , manufacturing (and obtaining satisfactory results) a miniature Wind Turbine.

@Sinan crappy excuses mate. Germany's 2050 goal is to produce %100 of their electricity by renewable sources. You don't need to be a genius to figure out that we have more potential.

It's not just about the energy performance. It is also about energy efficiency. I mean the transport of energy with minimal loss (dissipation).
