Abstract

In order to reduce fossil energy consumption at desalination plants, it has become necessary to replace fossil energy with clean energy. Currently, the reverse osmosis systems connected to solar energy is a promising technology for desalination of seawater / brackish water, especially in arid and semi-arid areas that have a large solar deposit and are remote from the public grid. The objective of this work is to show the efficiency of introducing renewable energy in brackish water desalination plants by the effect of comparing the energy consumption for a system without renewable energy source and system powered by the photovoltaic system (solar energy). As well as a program developed on Matlab software environment in order to, optimize the energy consumption of a desalination plant for the proposed plant is about 0.1269 kWh/m3.
