<strong>Renewable</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> <strong>Resources</strong> in <strong>Oman</strong><br />

A C<strong>on</strong>centrating Solar Power plant should be located in the desert not too far<br />

from the coast and sufficient main grid. Water is needed <strong>for</strong> cooling and <strong>for</strong> desalinati<strong>on</strong><br />

as well as <strong>for</strong> cleaning of panels. Another important aspects is to c<strong>on</strong>sider<br />

the delivery of the desalinated water which need to be piped.<br />

The SOLAR TRES plant under development in Spain is interesting <strong>for</strong> <strong>Oman</strong>. It<br />

is a system with central receiver (tower) and heat storage in molten salt with a<br />

cold and hot tank. The storage is <strong>for</strong> 15 hours of operati<strong>on</strong> and the system can<br />

also be supplemented with a gas boiler. See Fig. 5.8.<br />
