“…In the Maldives islands, the electricity need is approximately 1.3×10 kWh, and the sum of solar, wind, and biomass energy is approximately 9.51×10 kWh, which is higher than the energy demand. Additionally, these systems do not produce greenhouse gasses or noise, unlike the existing diesel power plants [55]. Saudi Arabia sets an example of water desalination systems; the simulation tools are the guidelines for the implementation of new hybrid power projects that integrate two sources: solar panels and wind turbines.…”

The purpose of this study is to undertake a global review of the renewable energy generation's current state, specifically in the area of photovoltaic (PV) solar energy, wind energy, bioenergy and hybrid power systems for electricity production. This article presents the most relevant aspects of the progress and the experiences of countries aiming at the construction and implementation of these technologies. It also quotes studies that include the advances of countries seeking to contribute to the decrease of greenhouse gas emission or that due to their geographic and environmental conditions are attempting to improve the access and the quality of the electric energy generation, involving especially remote communities that could hardly connect to the national power grid because of techno-economic reasons. These renewable energy studies could lead off to evaluate the impact of clean energy in the global energy supply and demand. Although in general, these technologies require high investments hardly competitive with traditional energy, with the support of stable policies and government subsidies, these become a choice that grows exponentially every day concerning efficiency and the reduction of costs, which can build trust in new investors.

“…Some authors have taken data from NASA's POWER (Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource) database as representative data for the climatological conditions and considered the hourly weather variation by linking the database with the RES-DS models [3]. Other authors simplified the information by considering daily or monthly variations [4].…”

Simulation and Optimization of Renewable Energy-Powered Desalination: A Bibliometric Analysis and Highlights of Recent Research

et al. 2023

Seawater desalination is emerging as one of the preferred systems for dealing with the problems of freshwater scarcity, which makes it necessary to redouble efforts to obtain an optimal and competent production process. For this reason, the coupling of water desalination and renewable energy systems is not surprising. This study applied a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the research trends on desalination systems and renewable energies from an engineering approach using optimizations or simulation techniques. The Scopus database was used for this study, selecting articles published between 2009 and 2022. A general analysis was carried out regarding trends in the number of articles produced, number of citations, subject area, journals, countries, institutes, and authors. Further, a more specific analysis was then performed in terms of renewable energy technologies used and preferred optimization/simulation methods and software used. The results also revealed that the field is growing, based on the number of articles published and the increase in citations. On the other hand, it was found that the most studied renewable energies, in coupling with desalination systems and from an optimization/simulation approach, are solar and wind.

“…estimated that Maldives wind speed is about 6.4–6.7 m/s, and wind reserves can be up to 3.8×10 11 kWh/year at 50 m height in N4.7° regions. 17 In the project proposal of Wind Energy Project in Himmafushi, 18 Kaafu pointed out that the average annual wind speed in the Maldives can reach 6 m/s, and the wind energy power density can be up to 350 W/m 2 . Although wind resources are rich in the Maldives, it needs to be harvested effectively in high and remote places, resulting in difficult installation, long-distance power transmission, and costly maintenance.…”
