“…An eligible location for a hybrid desalination power plant is the Asinara Island close to north Sardinia, the entire surface and coastal area of which is a national park since 2002. The features of the water needs and management have been discussed and the site characteristics have been thoroughly investigated in previous works [5]. Particular attention was paid on environmental constraints and fluctuating water needs for the small island.…”

“…Particular attention was paid on environmental constraints and fluctuating water needs for the small island. The hybrid RO desalination process coupled with renewable sources as sun or wind has been analyzed in some details, along with the RO and wind/PV plants, reporting technical specifications and energy requirements [4,5]. Here a new approach is proposed along the lines of that, focusing the analysis to wind energy.…”

The work deals with renewable energy project, in the context of the deregulated energy market. Special attention is focused on renewables and on the situation in Italy from the standards point of view. The set up of a wind farm and a PV plant in coastal Sardinian area for both electricity and desalinated water production is studied. The convenience of fuelling desalination plants through renewables is investigated by taking into account additional on-side trading instruments. A model to simulate the operation wind and PV systems is applied both to calculate the produced energy and to assess the performance of a desalination plant, namely a reverse osmosis plant driven with PV and wind sources that works in a small island site.

“…Some researchers have also used the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method, which involves "cradle-to-gate" or "gate-to-gate" approaches to study desalination systems [11][12][13]. Results from these studies reveal short-and long-term effects of pollution due to desalination activities, such as salinity, chemical effluents, heavy metals, membranes, and fuel [14][15][16]. Besides, the growing awareness among society on the advancement of desalination plants through wide dissemination of information could cause issues for the stakeholders.…”

This study examines who are the social actors in coordinating the environmental hot spots along the process of desalination. The integrated model design of life cycle modeling and Social Network Analysis is evaluated holistically by the inventory of life cycle and actor engagement ratings. Instances of the first small-scale reverse osmosis desalination plant project in Kelantan, Malaysia were used to meet the demands of this study. Environmental performance is measured through the Eco-Indicator 99 method in the Life Cycle Assessment Principles. Meanwhile, the network analysis of the actors’ networks involves stakeholders visualized through the UCINET software. The results show three hotspot points of membrane and brine disposal, the use of electrical energy, and the use of chemicals. The results acknowledged that 87 percent of the actors’ involvement from the dominant stakeholder group has been in control of the management and of the aforementioned hotspot. Undoubtedly, the results of this study can provide a better understanding of the potential market of actors to work with a more accurate and polycentric information flow for the development of more established desalination systems. This intriguing research will require further exploration in future studies.
