Optimization of energy parks with biomass plants and water desalination

This paper shows a possibility of the combination of renewable energy sources and water desalination in a self-contained installation. There is a chance to combine both aspects to save our climate and to solve the problem of water shortage in many countries, especially in countries with a high sun radiation, like in Africa as well in northern industrial countries with less sun radiation. One option is to use solar thermal or biomass power plants to generate (waste) heat. In industrialised countries it is also possible to use biomass to produce energy and with the generated waste heat you can convert saltwater into freshwater. In countries with a high sun radiation it would be preferred to produce heat with solar power. One idea is to join all aspects to produce water and energy independent on the weather or the time of day. With this upcoming project it is also possible to get water and energy independently from each other. So this enhancement can improve the quality of life in countries with undersupply of water. Furthermore there is the idea to build a self-sustaining hotel which does not need in average any external power and / or freshwater supply. The following paper details how to solve these well known water and energy problems.
