High Solar Radiation

Jordan is considered one of the sun-belt countries, which possesses high solar radiation on its horizontal surface. The present study will be concerned on the uses of fuzzy sets methodology to perform evaluation between the most suitable solar technologies for power generation in Jordan, namely, solar ponds and photovoltaic (PV) technologies. The criterion of the evaluation were based on different parameters, i.e., power capacity, efficiency, availability, capacity factor, storage capability, cost, maturity, land usage and safety, they are planned as the technologies for the near foreseen term. Based on benefit to cost ratios, the results showed that photovoltaic technology found to be the better choice in terms of generating electricity, research and development and more effective programs of support and installation.

Main Challenge

Water and energy are thoroughly linked: water is required to generate, transfer, and use the lot characteristics of energy; and energy is demanded to extract, treat, and distribute water. Shortage in clean water deems as the main challenge facing the world as a result of the escalating in the energy consumption required for desalinating the sea/brackish water which increases costs and provokes on the marine life and environment due to the high concentrate solute produced from desalination plants. Solar pond is a reservoir of water with different salt concentration implements to gather and store the incident solar energy which it can be employed later on in different thermal energy applications, such as industrialized heating process, electricity power generation, farming crop drying and cooling of houses. In this paper a short but concentrated review of the literatures that dealt with the implemented of the solar pond to illustrate succinctly the historical background for the solar ponds as well as the most word-wide established solar ponds. In addition to the theoretical background of heat and mass transfer which governed the solar pond operation is presented and discussed.

In the context of utilizing solar ponds, this research was commenced to enhance their performance so as to rely on them as a nonconventional water resources. Primarily, literature was reviewed in the field of solar ponds. The technique can be used to develop the energy needed for pumping, lifting, collecting or treating water. The agricultural sector users claim that water and energy face problems of environmental degradation due to resources scarcity. This research paper, data was gathered and analyzed, in terms of solar pond parameters such as depth of the upper gradient, shading effect, storage zones, daylight hours, ground temperature and covered insulation for different climate zones so as for different latitudes. The analyzed results indicated that solar ponds possess high potential in arid and semi-arid climates similar to Fayoum governorate, where it is distinguished by its ability to collect heat which can be utilized in different applications. The application cover desalination, electric power generation, salt purification, food and fishing industries. The solar pond technique utilized in many countries to act as the backbone for sustainable development in arid and semi-arid zones such as Victoria desert in Australia.
