Abstract

A coupled plant, comprised of a solar concentrating photovoltaic system and a multi effect evaporation desalination process exploiting the excess heat of the photovoltaic cells, is proposed. The plant produces both electricity and desalinated water. The annual production of electricity and water were computed, and the cost of desalinated water was estimated and compared to that of alternative conventional and solar desalination plants. Options for storage of thermal energy and for hybrid operation (using fossil fuel when sunlight is not available) were considered. Several economic scenarios are analyzed. The results indicate that the proposed coupled technology may have a significant advantage relative to other solar technologies and in some cases even relative to conventional desalination.
