Transport infrastructure consists of the mounted installations, together with roads , railways , airways , waterways , canals and pipelines and terminals comparable to airports , railway stations , bus stations , warehouses , trucking terminals, refueling depots (including fueling docks and gas stations ) and seaports Terminals could also be used both for interchange of passengers and cargo and for maintenance. Several parabolic trough power plants in Spain 55 and solar energy tower developer SolarReserve use this thermal power storage concept. The Solana Generating Station in the U.S. has six hours of storage by molten salt. The María Elena plant 56 is a four hundred MW thermo-photo voltaic complex within the northern Chilean area of Antofagasta using molten salt expertise.
