China's largest photothermal power station, located in the outskirts of Dunhuang city in Gansu province, boasts an impressive 100-megawatt installed capacity. A notable feature of this station is its use of movable mirrors known as heliostats, with a total of 12,000 covering over 1.4 million square meters. These heliostats are intelligently controlled to continuously reflect sunlight toward a 260-meter-high tower, where solar heat is absorbed.
