Thermal. Minsk 4 Cogeneration Plant is a 1,035MW gas fired power project. It is located in Minsk, Belarus. According to GlobalData, who tracks and profiles over 170,000 power plants worldwide, the project is currently active. It has been developed in a single phase. Post completion of construction, the project got commissioned in 1977.
Just like any other energy storage technology, steam as energy storage works by charging and discharging. The Charge – The charging process involves filling the steam storage tank half-full with cold water. Thereafter, steam generated through solar heating is blown into the tank through perforated pipes located near the bottom of the tank.
