Abstract:
Systems and methods for the desalination of water. A system includes a concentrated solar power (CSP) system, the CSP system operable to concentrate solar energy to increase temperature and pressure of a heat transfer fluid and operable to produce steam utilizing heat from the heat transfer fluid; a photovoltaic (PV) system, the PV system operable to collect solar energy to produce electricity; a desalination system in fluid communication with the CSP system and in electrical communication with the PV system, the desalination system operable to produce desalinated water from a salt water source utilizing the steam from the CSP system and electricity from the PV system; and a pump station in fluid communication with the CSP system and the desalination system, and in electrical communication with the PV system, the pump station operable to transmit the desalinated water to consumers for use.

Claim (Index 1):
A land-based desalination system for desalination of salt water, the desalination system comprising:\n a concentrated solar power (CSP) system, where the CSP system includes a solar trough field, where the CSP system concentrates solar energy to increase temperature and pressure of a heat transfer fluid and produces steam from a steam water supply utilizing heat from the heat transfer fluid, where an area of the solar trough field exceeds about 700,000 sq. meters, where thermal energy output from the solar trough field exceeds about 240 thermal megawatts, and where the CSP system utilizes CSP technology selected from the group consisting of: a parabolic trough, a Fresnel trough, a tower central receiver, a tower distributed receiver, and combinations thereof to produce steam; a desalination unit in fluid communication with the CSP system, where the desalination unit produces desalinated water from a salt water supply utilizing a portion of the total steam produced by the CSP system, and where the desalination unit utilizes desalination technology selected from the group consisting of: multi-stage flashing (MSF), multiple effect distillation (MED), and combinations thereof; and a pump station in fluid communication with the CSP system and the desalination unit, where the pump station receives the desalinated water from the desalination unit, where the pump station includes a turbine driven pump and transmits the desalinated water to consumers by driving the turbine driven pump utilizing a remaining portion of the total steam produced by the CSP system, the remaining portion of the steam sufficient to drive the turbine driven pump, where the desalination system is a stand-alone system and operates to produce desalinated water independent of an external electrical grid.
