Abstract

A system and a method of geographically positioned, environmental solar humidification energy conversion is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing air in a solar collector; (b) providing water in the solar collector; (c) combining the provided air with the provided water in the solar collector to create humid air; (d) heating the provided air, the provided water and/or the humid air by the solar collector to create warm humid air; (e) transporting the warm humid air to a boiler of a closed cycle power system; (f) providing a working fluid in the boiler of the power system; (g) heating the working fluid in the boiler with the transported warm humid air whereby the working fluid is pressurized and the warm humid air is cooled, whereby some water vapor condenses; (h) converting the energy of the pressurized working fluid by passing the fluid through a turbine to produce a useful form of energy, thereby expanding the working fluid; (i) transporting the expanded working fluid to a condenser of the closed cycle power system; (j) introducing waste water from an environmental body of water; (k) transporting the waste water to the condenser of the power system; (l) cooling the transported expanded working fluid in the condenser with the transported waste water, whereby the working fluid condenses, thereby heating the waste water; (m) recycling the cooled working fluid to provide said working fluid in the boiler of the power system.
