Summary

Emphasis is given to a computer model which calculates the optimum features of the electricity-generating phase of the system. Results show that, for an annual power output of 4000 kilowatthour, in the United Kingdom, the collector area required by the system proposed would be 92 square meters, whereas in Mexico, the area of collector required for the same output would be 48 square meters under similar simulation conditions. A small increase in the efficiency of the turbine, feed pump and generator would bring about a significant reduction of the collector area required.
