Abstract Background The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) countries are rapidly
growing in population with very limited access to freshwater resources. To overcome this …

In this review, current status and recent progress in concentrated solar power (CSP)
desalination technology has been presented. Special focus has been considered for …

Solar-based power and desalination system using super-critical carbon dioxide (S–CO 2)
Brayton cycle can be considered as one of the most promising development directions of …

Desalination market is experiencing continuous growth due to severe water scarcity in many
parts of the globe. Because of the geographical coincidence of serious water scarcity and …

The demand for fresh water supply across the globe is on the rise and is projected to keep
rising in the future due to its heavy utilization across various sectors such as agriculture …

Emerging hybrid technologies have better potential than conventional technology for
diversifying the desalination industry, which is presently being dominated by thermal and …

Concentrated solar power (CSP) plants provide the means to generate dispatchable,
renewable electricity in high direct normal incidence (DNI) locations around the world. Due …

After significant interest in the 1970s, but relatively few deployments, the use of solar
technologies for thermal applications, including enhanced oil recovery (EOR), desalination …

The progress in the production of desalinated water and other products such as electric
power, cooling water/air, and heat from photovoltaic thermal (PV-T) and concentrated …

In this work, a concentrated solar power (CSP) tri-generation system that is capable of the
simultaneous production of steam, power and freshwater is introduced. The abundantly …
