Abstract
A desalination system driven by a hybrid power supply system (IIYI3.) consisting of renewable energy power generation systems coupled to conventional power generation systems is considered as an attractive solution to providing water and electricity to remote areas uhere water scarcity is severe and no grid of electriciu is available. A Reverse Osmosis (RO) desalination unit pouered autonomously by a wind generator and/or photovoltaics is considered today as one of the most promising configurations in view of the power matching of desalination and renewable energy technologies. In this study the HYB.RO simulation software has been developed on the basis of a logistic approach. It can be used for the design of hybrid power supply system to drive a reverse osmosis unit for the desalination of brackish water and seawater. It is used to assist a designer in developing an optimal configuration for a hybrid power supply system and in sizing the components of such a hybrid power system. The main components of the HYB.RO model are the power production systems, the power consumption source, storage units and the economic analysis model. The model is principally used to calculate the power produced by all the power systems, the fuel consumption of the diesel generator, the energy required to drive the desalination unit as a function of water demand, the type of available feed water etc., Furthermore, it allows a wide choice of energy systems operating strategies in order to achieve the highest usage of renewable energy in order to reduce the use of the diesel unit and provide the least cost-option for unit water production. HYB.RO model is software run in the MATLAB language and can be used to assist engineers to design hybrid power supply systems to drive Reverse Osmosis desalination unit. It is an important tool for the coupling of the two technologies.
