“…are precipitated at the base of the pond [105,114]. A typical SGSP is mainly comprised of three individual layers [113]: upper convective zone (UCZ), non-convective zone (NCZ), and lower convective zone (LCZ) [115]. As can be seen in the figure, UCZ and LCZ have the unite and fixed temperature and salt concentrations, while in NCZ, these increase with depth [114].…”

“…The LCZ has a high salt gradient that sustains the fluid inside the pond and is heated by absorbing solar radiation. The LCZ attains the highest temperature inside the pond [113,115]. To keep the salt gradient constant, freshwater should be added from the top and the concentrated brine from the bottom of the pond simultaneously [114].…”

“…Temperature levels higher than 80°C can be gained in many SGSPs around the world. Moreover, the collected energy in these ponds can also be utilized for lowtemperature applications such as air and water heating [113,115]. In general, the brine discharge from the desalination plants, such as membrane filtration and ED, can be reused to recharge the pond.…”

Climate change, environmental impact and the limited natural resources urge scientific research and novel technical solutions. The monograph series Green Energy and Technology serves as a publishing platform for scientific and technological approaches to "green"-i.e. environmentally friendly and sustainable-technologies. While a focus lies on energy and power supply, it also covers "green" solutions in industrial engineering and engineering design. Green Energy and Technology addresses researchers, advanced students, technical consultants as well as decision makers in industries and politics. Hence, the level of presentation spans from instructional to highly technical. **Indexed in Scopus**.

A salinity gradient solar pond (SGSP) is a large and deep artificial basin of layered brine, which collects and stores-simultaneously-solar energy for use in various applications. Experimental and theoretical studies have been launched to understand the thermal behavior of SGSPs, under different operating conditions. This article then traces the history of SGSPs, from their natural discovery to their current artificial applications and the progress of studies and research, according to their chronological sequence, in terms of determining their physical and dynamic aspects, their operation, management and maintenance. It has extensively covered the theoretical and experimental studies, as well as the direct and laboratory applications of this technology, especially the most famous and influential in this field, classified according to the aspect covered by the study, with a comparison between the different results obtained. In addition, it highlighted the latest methods to improve the performance of an SGSP and facilitate its operation, such as the use of a magnetic field and the adoption of remote data acquisition, in the aim of expanding research and enhancing the benefit of this technology.

“…Solar ponds are one of these technologies and are used to produce water at a low temperature by using cheaper technology without polluting the nature. It is possible to obtain hot water up to 60 °C in a solar pond, constructed by using salt water with different density [1] and generated heat can be used directly for a wide range of application such as generation of electricity, heating the environment, meeting the need of hot water, drying food and obtaining fresh water from salty water. Since the geographical locations of the countries, and therefore the solar view angle is different and the periods of solar shine durations vary.…”

In this paper, thermal performance of solar pond for different condition was numerically investigated by using discrete ordinates method to facilitate a greater understanding of the effects of relative various condition on thermal performance improvement of solar pond. For this, a 3-D prototypes of solar ponds with square cross-sections were simulated for the oversoil and subsoil, insulated and uninsulated, open on and off conditions. The direction of sunlight (zenith angle and the solar elevation) was automatically computed from the latitude, longitude, time zone, date, and time. The estimated solar position is accurate for a date between year 2000 and 2199, due to an approximation used in the Julian Day calendar calculation. Seasonal temperature variation of solar pond was calculated for the full period of one year starting from March and calculated data were compared with experiment to validate simulation accuracy of heat transfer model. Result indicates that temperatures in the summer time were calculated at around 55 °C, while temperatures in the winter were in the range of 20 to 30 °C and temperature changes between 30 °C and 40 °C in spring and autumn.
