Parabolic trough collector

This paper investigates the annual performance of multi-effect desalination plant combined with a thermocompressor MED–TC driven by a solar steam generation plant. The desalination model is coupled with solar steam generation plant model to supply the necessary thermal energy to drive the desalinati

A co-generation system producing electricity and freshwater by a solar field driven supercritical organic Rankine cycle (SORC) coupled with a desalination unit is proposed. The proposed system can use parabolic trough solar collectors (among other options) to produce 700 kW thermal energy with temper
