ABSTRACT
The aim of this investigation is to assess the feasibility and benefits of integrating a renewable energy system into a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination station in Aqaba, Jordan. Through meticulous analysis, the study aims to determine the optimal SWRO system configuration that minimizes specific energy for produced fresh-water output while maintaining high rejection rates for various contaminants. Additionally, the economic and environmental assessments of the optimal design of the Wind-Diesel Generator-Battery configuration will be conducted to evaluate its potential in reducing the Cost of Energy (COE), increasing the Renewable Fraction (RF), and minimizing Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Overall, the aim is to demonstrate the viability of renewable energy integration in desalination operations, highlighting its potential contributions to economic sustainability and environmental preservation.
