Thermodynamic performance and water consumption of hybrid cooling system configurations for concentrated solar power plants [PDF]
, 2020 The use of wet cooling in Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) plants tends to be an unfavourable option in regions where water is scarce due to the high water requirements of the method. Dry-cooling systems allow a water consumption reduction of up to 80% but

Water recovery in a concentrated solar power plant [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2016 For CSP plants, water consumption is undergoing increasing scrutiny particularly in dry and arid regions with water scarcity conditions. Significant amount of water has to be used for parabolic trough mirror cleaning to maintain high mirror reflectance and optical efficiency in sandy environment.
