New Source of Energy Production - Solar Pond an Effective Use of Present Alternative Technologies

Abstract:

In this modern era of civilization electricity plays a vital role in every aspects ranging from basic needs to technological advancements. Today most of the electrical energy is obtained from non-renewable source namely coal. But it has been estimated that coal which is a vital resource for the production of electricity will be exhausted within two or three decades, if it is being used continuously at the current rate. Hence it is necessary to find an appropriate source of energy that will provide enormous quantity of energy to produce electricity without disruptions for the present and future generations. To attain this objective we have introduced a new technology called Solar ponds which provides thermal energy from sunlight. The energy obtained from solar ponds is far more efficient than the energy obtained from photovoltaic cells. This paper discusses the fabrication of mini solar pond and in their operation and maintenance. The factors which influence the technical and economic viability of solar ponds for thermal applications and power generation have been discussed.
