21. Thermal energy from a solar pond is used to drive a
Rankine cycle heat engine. Hot water from bottom level
of the pond is pumped to the evaporator where the
organic working fluid is vaporised. The vapour flows
under high pressure to the turbine and there by
expanding through the turbine wheels, and the electric
generator linked to it. The vapour then travel to the
condenser where cold water from the cooling tower
condenses the vapour back it to the evaporator where
the cycle is repeated.

23. This system has array of flat- plate collectors to heat
water up to nearly 70o and in the heat exchanger , the
heat of water is used for boiling furnace. The high
pressure butane vapour runs a butane turbine which
operate a hydraulic pump which pumps the water
from well and used for irrigation. The exhausted
butane vapour from butane turbine is condensed with
the help of water which is pumped by the pump. This
condensed butane is fed to the heat exchanger

The heat storage device
The field of oriented mirrors.
31. In this system , the incoming solar radiation is focused
to a central receiver or a boiler mounted on a tall tower using
thousands of plane reflectors, which are steerable about two
axes and are called heliostats. A schematic view of an electric
power plant using gas turbine is shown in figure. The mirrors
are installed on the ground and are oriented so as to reflect
the direct beam radiation in to an absorber or boiler which is
mounted on the top of a tower located near the centre of the
field of mirrors to produce high temperature.
Beam radiation incident on boiler absorbed by black
pipes in which working fluid circulates and is heated. The
working fluid is allowed to drive a turbine and produce
mechanical energy. The turbine which is coupled to an
alternator produces electrical energy. A suitable heat storage is
also provided to supply the hest energy during the periods of
cloudiness.

34. 1 Wave Energy
Kinetic energy (movement) exists in the
moving waves of the ocean. That energy can
be used to power a turbine. In this simple
example, (illustrated to the right) the wave
rises into a chamber. The rising water forces
the air out of the chamber. The moving air
spins a turbine which can turn a
generator.When the wave goes down, air flows
through the turbine and back into the chamber
through doors that are normally closed.
This is only one type of wave-energy system.
Others actually use the up and down motion of
the wave to power a piston that moves up and
down inside a cylinder. That piston can also
turn a generator.
Most wave-energy systems are very small. But,
they can be used to power a warning buoy or a
small light house.
2 Tidal Energy
Another form of ocean energy is called tidal
energy. When tides comes into the shore, they
can be trapped in reservoirs behind dams.
Then when the tide drops, the water behind
the dam can be let out just like in a regular
