Salt-gradient solar ponds in the Salton Sea - brine optical quality and performance

Conference · · Proc., Intersoc. Energy Convers. Eng. Conf.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5352429
In a joint project, the Southern California Edison Company, Ormat Turbines, Ltd., of Israel, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory are studying the feasibility of solar pond power plants in the Salton Sea. Spectrographic measurements made of Salton Sea water revealed the presence of dissolved matter, thought to be organic, and trace ions, which absorb light in the blue and of the spectrum. 9 refs.
