Sažetak
Solar thermal (ST) power plant for the simultaneous production of energy and drinking water, is a new type of power plant that makes a modified pump storage hydroelectric power plant 12-14 coupled with ST power plant 4-8 that uses solar energy 1 and local water resources 3 and the availability of sea or unclean water (rivers, aquifers, etc.) 2 for the simultaneous production of electric energy and drinking water throughout the year. The essence of the invention consists in the fact that ST power plant 4-8 has an open thermodynamic system 5 in entering steam from the evaporator 6, obtained by evaporation of sea water or other impure water using heat from solar thermal collectors 4 an output of drinking water that collects in reservoir 9 cooled by cooler 10, while the same time, produce electric energy by generator 8. Continuity of production of electricity to reservoir 13, which may be stored for a day and seasonal water and energy, and in this way, through the turbine generator 14, to produce electric energy for the consumers needs. So electricity produced is used for auxiliary consumption thermodynamic system 5, and the power of electric heater 7 which submitted heat to evaporator 6, and this thermodynamic system 5, and in this way keeps the power plant in readiness during transient cloudy day and in this way keeps the power plant in readiness during transient cloudy day, but energy and water production allows through cloudy days and night. The new system power plants simultaneously produces green energy and drinking water and is completely sustainable because the energy production based on renewable energy resources, i.e. solar energy 1, and the drinking water production from sea or unclean water sources 2.
