Determination of the optimum pond temperature for maximizing power production of a convecting solar pond thermal-energy conversion system

Abstract

In order to maximize power production of a convecting solar pond power plant, the optimum pond temperature and the corresponding final conversion efficiency are determined numerically. As the heat sink temperature of the associated power plant was increased, the optimum pond temperature increased and the corresponding final conversion efficiency decreased. Further, the optimum final conversion efficiency of the present solar pond thermal-energy conversion system was found to be less than 3% under the meteorological conditions of Japan.
