A 100 kWe/700 kWth distributed receiver, solar-thermal power plant was installed in a remote desert location 35 km southwest of Kuwait City in the country of Kuwait. The co-generation solar power plant is designed to supply the electric power and fresh water needs of a small agricultural desert settlement. The power plane utilizes 56 point-focusing, parabolic collectors, each five meters in diameter and equipped with a two-axis tracking system. A synthetic fluid is circulated in the collector field via a pipeline network, where it is heated to 400 C. In the energy conversion system, the heat-transfer fluid enters a series of heat exchangers where it heats and vaporizes another organic fluid (toluene). The vapor, under high pressure, operates a radial flow turbine, producing mechanical and, subsequently, electric energy. The rejected heat is ultimately to be used for powering of a multistage flash desalination system to provide the fresh water needs for the integrated food-water-power complex which also includes desert greenhouses and an outdoor irrigation system.
