The potential of using a solar pond for the generation of electricity in Jordan was investigated. A solar pond power plant model is presented to simulate and optimize such a system under the Jordanian climatic conditions. It was found that using a solar pond for the generation of electricity in Jordan has the potential, with the cost of 0.234 JD kWh when using a pond of surface area of 1.5 km2, to generate 5 MWe.
