Abstract

Conventional designs of stratified salt-gradient ponds for harnessing solar energy usually require that highly expensive excavation and/or constructional work be undertaken, thereby inhibiting the widespread adoption of this type of solar energy collector. So a new concept--the coffered solar pond (CSP), which is a thermally isolated zone of a shallow lake--has been considered. Via a generalised simplified steady-state mathematical model of the thermal behaviour of such a CSP for a lake in Egypt at latitude 30°N, the depth of the CSP has been optimised in order to achieve the maximum rate of energy capture.
