Abstract In this review, current status and recent progress in concentrated solar power (CSP) desalination technology has been presented. Special focus has been considered for designs and hybridization configurations, thermodynamic performance assessment, and economic analyses of hybrid solar desalination systems driven by only the parabolic trough, or/parabolic dish CSP systems. Studies that combined solar parabolic trough/dish with different desalination technologies such as multi-effect distillation (MED), reverse osmosis (RO), humidification-dehumidification (HDH), multi-stage flash (MSF), and thermal vapor compression (TVC) either for only freshwater production or for co-generation of power and freshwater are discussed in details. Comparison among the reviewed solar concentrated parabolic trough desalinating systems shows that the MED-TVC system powered by parabolic trough solar field is more appropriate than a parabolic trough-RO combination from a thermodynamic viewpoint. In addition, solar parabolic trough and dish collectors can operate the thermal cycles to drive RO desalination system with lower cost of producing water than the MED process. It can be concluded that adopting parabolic trough CSP-desalination technology was a better option for improving the economic advantages of hybrid CSP-desalination industry than adopting parabolic dish CSP-desalination technology. Furthermore, the hybrid MED-RO system with parabolic trough technology is characterized by high reliability, high freshwater generating efficiency, and low desalination cost. Nevertheless, more theoretical and experimental data are needed to optimize these hybrid systems to gain higher efficiency and lower operating cost in the future.

由抛物线槽和抛物线盘 CSP 技术驱动的混合太阳能海水淡化系统：技术分类、热力学性能和经济评估

摘要 在这篇综述中，介绍了聚光太阳能（CSP）海水淡化技术的现状和最新进展。特别关注仅由抛物线槽或/抛物线盘 CSP 系统驱动的混合太阳能海水淡化系统的设计和混合配置、热力学性能评估和经济分析。将太阳能抛物槽/碟形槽与不同的海水淡化技术相结合的研究，例如多效蒸馏 (MED)、反渗透 (RO)、加湿-除湿 (HDH)、多级闪蒸 (MSF) 和热蒸汽压缩 (TVC)详细讨论了仅用于淡水生产或用于电力和淡水的联产。对已审查的太阳能集中抛物槽淡化系统的比较表明，从热力学角度来看，由抛物槽太阳能场提供动力的 MED-TVC 系统比抛物槽-RO 组合更合适。此外，太阳能抛物槽和碟形收集器可以运行热循环来驱动 RO 海水淡化系统，其产水成本低于 MED 工艺。可以得出结论，采用抛物槽式CSP-海水淡化技术比采用抛物槽式CSP-海水淡化技术是提高混合CSP-海水淡化产业经济优势的更好选择。此外，采用抛物线槽技术的混合MED-RO系统具有可靠性高、淡水产生效率高和海水淡化成本低的特点。尽管如此，
