Solar-Powered food-Water-Power system for arid areas BT - International Symposium on Energy Options for the Year 2000, September 1, 1988 - September 1, 1988
Energy Sources, 1991Co-Authors: Safwat Moustafa, H. Zewen, A. Al-kandarieAbstract:The development of an energy-sufficient desert settlement may be one of the most challenging tasks facing engineers today. Such a settlement requires considerable amounts of energy not only for conventional food production needs, such as Water pumping and irrigation, but also for the production of fresh Water and for modifying the harsh summer environment for human habitation as well as food production. A typical site for a desert settlement is often characterized by its long hot summers, its remoteness (away from any electric grid), and the presence of little or no fresh Water suitable for humans or food production. In such areas, the only means of obtaining fresh Water is through the desalination of sea or brackish Waters using oil and natural gas. Such a dependence on an exhaustible resource is not only expensive, but also unwise, in the long run. The only permanent, inexhaustible source of energy available for desert areas is the sun. It is also the excessive solar radiation that is responsible for the often harsh and long summer season in such areas. The successful utilization of solar energy to supply the major part of the energy needs for electric and Water production for such desert settlements could be a major contribution to its future energy security. The concept of the integrated food/Water/Power complex supported mainly by solar energy was developed and completed in 1985 in Kuwait. The complex consisted of a cogeneration solar thermal Power plant serving as the primary source of energy for a desert settlement, by supplying its electric energy as well as the production of the fresh Water needs, utilizing the reject waste heat from the Power plant. The desert settlement also included both controlled environment agriculture as well as open agriculture, seasonal storage of desalinized Water, and a satisfactory scheme for Water conservation and safe disposal of Water desalination brine by utilizing it to breed salt gradient solar ponds. The objective of this article is to report on the design concept, the hardware development, and operation of the solar agricultural desert settlement and its suitability for application in arid areas.
