“…It resulted in water scarcity and it was expected that by 2050 the population will be increased to 1.60 billion. It had been forecasted that India ranks 40th in the list of countries suffering from water insufficiency problems were discussed by Manju and Sagar . To overcome that problem desalination was a smart and alternative choice where many coastal areas were available.…”

Summary Sustainable power sources, that is, the energy produced as of hydro control, biomass, wind, geothermal, sunlight, and sea resources deliberated as innovative choice intended to create clean energy and crisp water. The majority of the nations have challenged issues proceeding freshwater and power creation, which tends to the utilization of sustainable power source‐controlled desalination frameworks. In this work expanding the clean water accessibility that satisfies the load need, Hybrid Renewable Energy Systems (HRES) on the basis of Reverse Osmosis Desalination (ROD) is structured and then displayed. HRES is getting to be well known for power applications because of advances in sustainable power sources. Here, an innovative calculation based on Social Spider Optimization (SSO) is aimed at explaining the required optimization tasks. The technique referenced is turned out to be powerful, utilizing sustainable power source framework. The proposed system is contrasted with a genuine contextual analysis in the eastern part of Iran, Canary Islands and outcomes demonstrate that it has been successfully utilized thinking about both power quality and cost. Also, the outcomes acquired by the suggested technique are very encouraging to outline the capability and strength of the introduced methodology.

Employing SWOT Analysis and Normal Cloud Model for Water Resource Sustainable Utilization Assessment and Strategy Development

2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Water Resource Sustainable Utilization (WRSU) is becoming increasingly important, given growing water resource shortages and widening gaps between water supply and demand. Most existing studies have focused on WRSU levels without a dedicated strategy-oriented framework. In addition, uncertainties occur in the process of indicator quantification and grading, leading to a lack of accuracy in the assessment results. Therefore, in this study, stemming from water resource, societal, economic, and environmental dimensions, an indicator system with qualitative description was introduced by Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis to enable development and selection of sustainable water use strategies. A normal cloud model that is capable of addressing uncertainties was used to determine WRSU levels. The comprehensive evaluation results can both reflect the WRSU levels and select the most suitable strategy. The model's utility was demonstrated by applying it to the case of Shandong province in China. Based on the results, most areas of Shandong province appear to be facing serious unsustainable issues. Appropriate development strategies based on the WRSU levels were provided for improving sustainable use of water resources. The proposed method offers an efficient means for WRSU assessment and strategy development. Moreover, it has the potential to be applied to other water resource issues.

“…With population and industrial growth, increasing fresh water needs are becoming significant. It must be realized that we cannot continue to rely only on groundwater sources; sea water needs to be utilized as another source of fresh water (Manju & Sagar, 2017;Morad et al, 2017). Indonesia, as a maritime country, has many sources of sea water that can be utilized for fresh water.…”

Current cascade solar desalination systems can convert sea water into fresh water, but they can only produce small quantities. To produce more fresh water, there is a solution that can be applied, i.e. modification of the existing desalination system by adding thermosyphons. The objective of this research is to design a cascade solar desalination system with integrated thermosyphons and to establish its ability to produce fresh water. The experimental study was conducted by adding an aluminum absorber plate as a heat absorber in the upper tub, and nine copper thermosyphons with each length of 60 cm in the bottom of the tub. Thermosyphons with an inclination angle of 15° were used as a solar energy absorber and heat enhancer for sea water. The experiment was performed with varying sea water flow rates of 3600, 7200, and 10800 mL/h, and levels of sea water in the upper tub of 2, 3, and 4 cm. To compare the amount of fresh water obtained from the utilization of the thermosyphons, we also used the cascade solar desalination system without the thermosyphons. The results show that the cascade solar desalination system with integrated thermosyphons was able to produce an average amount of fresh water of 38.6 mL/h, with an average daily thermal efficiency of 18.78%. On the other hand, the same system without the thermosyphons produced on average 9.9 mL/h of fresh water, with an average daily thermal efficiency of 8%. The results indicate that the use of thermosyphons in the cascade solar desalination system can increase fresh water productivity by up to 3.89 times, and increase the thermal efficiency of the system by up to 2.35 times.
