“…Given the energy structure of the islands, with grids that present stability weaknesses in the event of high renewable penetration, the Canary Islands government published specific regulations [19,20] for the operation of grid-connected desalination systems with renewable participation to ensure their greater integration. This issue was addressed in a recent study that introduced a method for validating the strategies proposed in a planning approach [21]. The study conducted a more specific analysis of the impact on grid stabilization when integrating high levels of RESs into the energy system [21].…”

“…This issue was addressed in a recent study that introduced a method for validating the strategies proposed in a planning approach [21]. The study conducted a more specific analysis of the impact on grid stabilization when integrating high levels of RESs into the energy system [21]. The actions that were taken had the prime objectives of reducing external energy dependency, satisfying the water demand of the islands' inhabitants and the very large number of tourists who visit the islands each year, and exploiting the available renewable potential (principally wind and solar) [22].…”

Water scarcity is a global problem that particularly affects islands located in arid regions or regions with limited water resources. This issue has prompted the development of non-conventional water sources such as fossil fuel-powered desalination systems. Concern about the high energy and environmental costs associated with this type of facility has created the ideal framework for the proliferation of desalination projects powered by renewable energies, especially wind energy due to the multiple advantages it offers. This article provides a bibliometric analysis to identify the advances made in wind-powered desalination on islands. While many studies explore wind-powered desalination, none compile references specific to islands. This paper analyses islands’ desalination needs and showcases wind-powered systems, exploring their types and uses. Firstly, the most relevant international scientific journals are identified to allow the subsequent selection and quantitative and qualitative analysis of articles directly dealing with wind-powered desalination systems. A total of 2344 articles obtained from the Scopus database were analyzed, of which 144 including 181 case studies were selected. Among the results of this study, an increasing year-on-year trend is observed in the number of published studies tackling wind-powered desalination. Finally, this paper presents a series of maps showing the most relevant facilities, projects, and data in this field, and provides an overview of the lessons learned in the decarbonization of desalination.
