Solar-Driven Integrated Ro/Nf For Water Desalination

This article presents an experimental study where two different modules are integrated, i.e. a reverse osmosis (RO) module, and a nanofiltration (NF) module, for brackish water desalination unit. Photovoltaic (PV) panels power the setup. The performance for each of the modules was evaluated separately. Then both modules were integrated together, either in series or in parallel. The performance ...

Supervisory Predictive Control of an Integrated Wind/Solar Energy Generation and Water Desalination System

This work focuses on the design of a supervisory predictive control system for the optimal management and operation of a stand-alone wind-solar energy generation system which provides power to a reverse-osmosis (RO) water desalination system. We design the supervisory control system via model predictive control which coordinates the wind and solar subsystems as well as a battery bank to best sa...

Solar Power Technologies for Desalination

Throughout the world, there are regions of vast extent that have many favorable features, but whose development is principally limited by the lack of fresh water. In arid areas where large-scale development has already occurred, e.g. parts of the Middle East and North Africa, the extraction of fresh water via desalination plants requires very large energy consumption. This motivates the develop...
