Co-ordination Action for Autonomous Desalination Units ... - ADU-RES

Furthermore, several models concerning with the design and financial analysis of
desalination technologies with RES is also included in the present document.
Below a description of the chapters included in this document is presented:
The First Chapter is an introduction on what this desalination with renewables
document presents and its main subjects.
The Second Chapter presents the state-of-the-art of the possible couplings of
desalination with renewables.
Chapter Three describes a set of basic guidelines for the selection and design of a
RES-Desalination system.
In Chapter Four, the fundamental and more promising desalination renewable
energy technologies are described via several applications. The cases refer to
photovoltaic and wind energy technologies coupled with Reverse Osmosis
desalination process, wind energy and distillation, solar thermal technology coupled
with distillation desalination processes as well as hybrid Reverse Osmosis plants.
Chapter five presents several conclusions and recommendation concerning the
matching of the two technologies.
Chapter 6 presents a brief overview of desalination RES projects co-financed by the
European Commission Programmes, and non-EC Programmes.
Chapter 7 presents the simulation software packages that have been developed in
the field of desalination RES.
In the Appendix a database of the most known Desalination RES installation is
provided.
