ABSTRACT:
A method of operating a solar power station solar power station including a solar panel assembly having multiple towers, a solar panel pivotally mounted to an upper end of each tower, and a control system. Each of the towers has multiple floors and is individually extendable from a bottom position to an extended position. The control system includes a main routine for operating the towers comprising a normal operation subroutine for selectively positioning the towers between the bottom position and the extended position, whereby the solar power panel is positioned for maximum solar collection. A monitor parameter subroutine continually monitors the earthquake and wind sensors. A withdraw towers subroutine initiates withdrawal of the towers to the bottom position when the earthquake sensor or the wind sensor sense a seismic event or a high wind force, respectively, that is likely to damage the solar power station. A recover from event subroutine returns control from the withdraw towers subroutine to the normal operation subroutine when the seismic event or high wind force is no longer likely to damage the solar power station.
