“…The measured concentrations of the LCZ and UCZ of the uncovered pond of the present study for Day 10 where compared with the concentrations calculated using Eqs. ( 4) and (5). It was found that there is an acceptable agreement between the measured and calculated concentrations with relative errors of 0.07 and 0.2 for the LCZ and UCZ, respectively, these errors might be due to the wind effect which was not considered in the analytical equations of Sayer et al [43].…”

“…Many previous studies have concentrated on the thermodynamics of solar ponds with a view to better understanding the heat transfer process [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. These studies take into account the intensity of solar radiation to predict the temperature distribution in the solar pond.…”

The world energy demand is continuously growing, which means an increase in consumption for all modern fuels or stronger effort on the development and improvement of renewable technologies. Moreover, Developing Countries claims more energy and they have often wide unutilized or unusable lands. The solar energy represents a useful opportunity for these Countries. The Solar Pond is both a solar collector and a thermal storage for long period and is suitable to use in wide sunny areas. Solar pond technology is able to supply heat for several applications requiring low-grade thermal energy or for electrical power production. In order to produce electrical energy from solar ponds it is necessary to use systems fed by low enthalpy sources, such Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) and Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). In this paper, a model of a Solar Pond for power generation is analyzed in conjunction with an Organic Rankine Cycle. The model has been validated using climate data of an area near to Palermo city (Italy) and exactly the Test Reference Year developed by the Authors.

“…While some of the radiation that hits the UCZ is rapidly absorbed, a proportion of it is dissipated to the atmosphere through convection and radiation heat transfer. The remaining radiation is subsequently absorbed in the NCZ before it is transmitted into the LCZ, where it is stored (Abbassi Monjezi & Campbell, 2016;Singh et al, 2011). The LCZ is notable for its higher salt concentration, which enables thermal energy storage.…”

The rising global energy demand necessitates innovative solutions for harnessing renewable energy sources. Solar ponds have received attention as they present a viable means to address this challenge by absorbing and storing solar radiation. This article provides a comprehensive review of solar pond technology, including its principles, applications, heat extraction mechanisms, and approaches to optimize performance, with special attention to the salt-gradient solar pond. Additionally, the article identifies challenges that currently hinder the large-scale adoption of solar pond technology and offers recommendations for future research. By providing a detailed analysis of the current trends and future research directions, this paper seeks to contribute to the ongoing efforts to improve these systems, exploring various approaches to increase their efficiency and make them more economical and environmentally sustainable.
