State-of-the-art review of solar ponds. Final report
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5350341
Solar pond technologies and their potential for application within the military are briefly reviewed. Salt gradient solar ponds (SGSP), shallow solar ponds (SSP), saltless convecting solar ponds, gel ponds, viscosity stabilized ponds, and membrane ponds are covered. In addition, several criteria are evaluated with respect to solar ponds. These include reliability, maintainability, efficiency, survivability, environmental impact and economics. Research and development requirements and ongoing activities are also summarized.
