Seawater desalination is an important process to meet the increasing demand for fresh
water demand; however, it is highly energy intensive due to the high salinity of the source …

The use of solar energy in recent years has reached a remarkable edge. The continuous
research for an alternative power source due to the perceived scarcity of fuel fossils is its …

This work aims to propose a more robust and realistic dynamic optimization (DO) approach
to maximize the profit of distilled water production in a multi-effect desalination (MED) plant …

The cost of desalination is mainly based on the energy cost since the process is very energy-
intensive. Previous reviews have considered individual topics such as renewable energy …

The evaluation of a novel solar seawater desalination system implemented at the University
of Almeria (Spain) is presented. It integrates a solar thermal field based on static collectors …

Several schemes have been proposed so far for coupling desalination processes with the
use of renewable energy. One of their main drawbacks, however, is the nature of the energy …

This work presents the development of a feedback control system for a pilot membrane
distillation facility powered with solar energy located at Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA) …

This paper presents the output temperature control of a solar collector field of a
desalinization plant using the Filtered Dynamic Matrix Control (FDMC). The FDMC is a …

Concentrated solar power (CSP) systems, in conjunction with thermal energy storage (TES)
systems, can deliver continuous and stable electricity even under intermittent solar …

The energy hub concept and modeling methodology are widely employed tools for solving
resource conversion and storage scheduling problems. For instance, industrial clusters …
