Decarbonizing desalination systems requires combining renewable energy technologies with systems. Solar thermal desalination, which combines a system (e.g., distillation, multistage flash, etc.) concentrated solar is attractive in geographic regions an abundance of saline water and energy. However, the high economic cost low efficiency limits its adoption. This review provides overview techno-economic, materials, performance challenges that need to be overcome realize solar-desalination. The...
Current brine management strategies are based on the disposal of in nearby aquifers, representing a loss potential water and mineral resources. Zero liquid discharge (ZLD) is possible strategy to reduce rejection while increasing resource recovery from desalination plants. However, ZLD substantially increases energy consumption carbon footprint plant. The predominant through use hybrid technology that integrates renewable energy. Here, we built computational thermodynamic model most mature...

The development of new approaches in the GIS research community may require use a computational tool to post-process GNSS and inertial sensors data order get more accurate position, velocity, orientation angles (attitude) information.An open-source framework for simulating integrated navigation systems (INS/GNSS) called NaveGo has been developed using MATLAB/GNU Octave is freely available on-line.Although preliminary tests have shown that appears work properly, deep examination must be...
Defining optimal cogeneration system design requires the use of complex analyses capable capturing dynamic processes within multiple subsystems and individual devices in parallel. This is due to well-known fact that performance does not always correlate with a single subsystem. Furthermore, often present inherent trade-offs which are easily captured subsystem level models. Here, we perform steady state thermodynamic economic analysis for concentrated solar power (CSP) producing through...
We propose a methodology for identifying and prioritizing the best potential locations brine concentration facilities in contiguous United States. The uses geographic information system multicriteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) to prioritize based on thermodynamic, economic, environmental, social criteria. By integrating geospatial data with computational simulation of real system, an objective weighting method identifies weights 13 subcriteria associated main When considering multiple...

Abstract Here we perform a steady state thermodynamic analysis of cogeneration cycle capable producing power through supercritical Carbon Dioxide (sCO2) recompression Brayton and water Multi Effect Distillation (MED) plant. The integration considers demineralized loop heated by rejected sCO2. Thus, the performance block is independent desalination block. Each system independently analyzed to identify operational or design parameters that influence efficiency production. For 112.6 MW, with...

Abstract Solar thermal desalination systems utilize concentrated or non-concentrated sunlight to produce heat drive a phase change separation process and freshwater. It could be an effective solution for increasingly scarce freshwater resources energy shortages across the globe. In order explore performance limits operating parameters that affect specific water production (SWP), this paper proposes thermodynamic model of ideal solar-driven process. The compares two different heating...
