Technical and economic assessment of the prospects for electrical power generation by use of solar ponds
Abstract
The general technical and economic feasibility of using non-converting solar ponds as a means of generating electric power is assessed. A review of the literature and the BNW report showed that information on the engineering design and cost of such a power plant was fragmentary. To form a basis for this study, a baseline design was conceptualized relying partially on claims published in the literature.
