Advancements in Salinity Gradient Solar Pond Technology Based on Sixteen Years of Operational ExperienceSource: Journal of Solar Energy Engineering:;2004:;volume( 126 ):;issue: 002::page 759DOI: 10.1115/1.1667977Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The El Paso salinity gradient solar pond, initiated in 1983, has been in operation since 1985. Through 16 years of research and operation, the El Paso Solar Pond has successfully demonstrated applications including desalination, waste brine management, industrial process heat production, and electricity generation; and has developed and implemented key technical advancements to improve the technical viability and economic feasibility of salinity gradient solar ponds, including: 1) an automated instrumentation monitoring system, 2) a stability analysis strategy and high temperature (60–90°C) gradient maintenance methods, 3) a scanning injection technique for improved salinity gradient construction and maintenance, 4) new liner technology, and 5) an improved heat extraction system.
