- Experimental validation of MED forward feed steady-state modelPublication . Casimiro, Sergio; Alarcón-Padilla, Diego-César; Ioakimidis, C.; Mendes, J. FarinhaIn this work the validation of a physical model to simulate the performance of an MED forward feed system is done by comparing results of the model with real data obtained. The data was obtained using the experimental MED plant at Plataforma Solar de Almeria (PSA) under steady-state operation near design conditions. The results indicate that the model can be used to make a first analysis on these type of systems.
- Modeling multi effect distillation powered by CSP in TRNSYSPublication . Casimiro, Sergio; Cardoso, João P.; Alarcón-Padilla, Diego-César; Turchi, Craig; Ioakimidis, C.; Mendes, J. FarinhaThis work presents the results of using a new tool to simulate the cogeneration of water and electricity with Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) and Forward Feed Multi-Effect-Desalination (FF-MED) plants, by adding a new functionality to the System Advisor Model (SAM) developed by the US National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). The controlling strategy of the MED model is presented in detail, and a case study application is shown. This study compares the results obtained with a CSP plant operating in San Diego, CA, with four different cooling systems: an MED/Seawater Cooling Circuit (SWCC), dry cooling, wet cooling, and a SWCC standalone. The results show that the usage of an MED/SWCC system in cogeneration with a CSP plant can be feasible and has the potential to be economically interesting.
