Through this compare and contrast method of analysis, the author establish guidelines to assist in identifying cases wherein PT-CSP+MED systems provide superior economic and thermodynamic benefits.  The text describes the efficiencies and challenges of PT-CSP power generation in four different desalination plant scenarios, including detailed comparative thermodynamic efficiency analyses of several currently operating CSP+D systems. These findings are then placed in practical context through a complete thermo-economic analysis of two diverse potential sites, ascertaining the most viable CSP+D system in each region, as informed by actual operating conditions, meteorological data and real cost figures for each location.Renewable energy resourcesWater-supplyRenewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Water Industry/Water Technologieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/214000Renewable and Green Energyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/111000Renewable energy resources.Water-supply.Renewable and Green Energy.Water Industry/Water Technologies.Renewable and Green Energy.621.042Palenzuela Patriciaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut955535Alarcón-Padilla Diego-Césarauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autZaragoza Guillermoauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299614603321Concentrating Solar Power and Desalination Plants2162301UNINA
