“…Similarly, the product cost for MED+ER and CCGT+MED against different interest rates is compared in Figure 11 which shows the lower cost for hybrid system at all conditions. A more detailed investigation and optimization of standalone MED systems under different configurations and similar process parameter ranges are presented in a recent study by authors [48]. Figure 12 shows a variation in the capital investment/ fixed cost of the desalination system with the desalination capacity based on the correlations presented in Table 3 and Table 4.…”

Heat exchangers are the mainstay of thermal systems and have been extensively used in desalination systems, heating, cooling units, power plants, and energy recovery systems. This chapter demonstrates a robust theoretical framework for heat exchangers investigation based on two advanced tools, i.e., exergoeconomic analysis and Normalized Sensitivity Analysis. The former is applied as a mutual application of economic and thermodynamic analyses, which is much more impactful than the conventional thermodynamic and economic analyses. This is because it allows the investigation of combinatory effects of thermodynamic and fiscal parameters which are not achieved with the conventional methods. Similarly, the Normalized Sensitivity Analysis allows a one-on-one comparison of the sensitivity of output parameters to the input parameters with entirely different magnitudes on a common platform. This rationale comparison is obtained by normalizing the sensitivity coefficients by their nominal values, which is not possible with the conventional sensitivity analyses. An experimentally validated example of a plate heat exchanger is used to demonstrate the application of the proposed framework from a desalination system.

“…The 35% growth of the world population between 2015 and 2050 not only increases the demand for energy resources but also, leads to the rapid increase in the demand for freshwater [1]. Freshwater resources on Earth are limited, and to cope with the global freshwater demand, desalination is introduced as one of the most feasible solutions [2]. Among the various available technologies for desalination, reverse osmosis systems are recognized as economic technology [3].…”

This study investigates the use of division algorithms to optimize the size of a desalination system integrated with a microgrid based on a wind turbine plant and the battery storage to supply freshwater based on cost, reliability, and energy losses. Cumulative exergy demand is used to identify and minimize the energy losses in the optimized system. Division algorithms are used to overcome the drawback of low convergence speed encountered by the well-known method genetic algorithm. The findings indicated that there is a positive relationship between cost, cumulative exergy, and reliability. More specifically, when the loss of power supply probability is 10%, compared to when it is 0%, the total cumulative exergy demand and total life cycle cost are reduced by 34.76% when the battery is full and 45.44% when the battery is empty and there is a 44.43% decrease in total life cycle cost, respectively. However, the more reliable system, the less exergy is lost during the production of 1 m3 freshwater by desalination integrated into wind turbine plant.
