- Abstract
The aim of this investigation is to assess the feasibility and benefits of integrating a renewable energy system into a seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination station in Aqaba, Jordan. It has been determined that the optimal SWRO system configuration produce 109,500.00 m³ daily fresh-water output with high rejection rates for various contaminants. The total water cost is 0.85 $/m³, with a specific energy consumption of 2.67 kWh/m³. Furthermore, the economic and environmental assessments of optimum design of the wind-diesel generator-battery. This con- figuration not only offers the lowest cost of energy but also demonstrates a substantial renewable fraction and significant reduction in CO2 emissions. These results underscore the feasibility and benefits of integrating renewable energy into desalination operations, contributing to both economic sustainability and environmental preservation.
