The steam is then used to drive a steam turbine, as in a normal steam plant.

然后这些蒸汽用来推动蒸汽涡轮机，就像一般的蒸汽动力装置一样。

Molten salt storage could store the solar energy and generate steam to drive a turbine for the hours of non sun generation. The first plant using this technology is being built is Spain.

熔盐储能器能够储存太阳能并产生蒸汽在没有太阳能产生的时间内来驱动涡轮第一个使用这种技术的发电厂将建造在西拔牙。

This gas is used to drive the turbine just as steam would be.

产生的气体可以像蒸汽那样驱动涡轮机。

It is then run back through the heat exchanger to drive the steam turbine when needed.

ECONOMIST: Energy storage

Tellingly, about two-thirds of bids for solar energy contracts last year (by electricity generated) were for photovoltaic projects and only a third were for solar thermal power plants, which deploy vast arrays of mirrors to heat liquids and produce steam to drive an electricity-generating turbine.
