Ruled-based control of off-grid desalination powered by renewable energies by Alvaro Serna, Fernando Tadeo, David Torrijos

“…This control algorithm is based on two sets of rules: first, a list that prioritizes the reverse osmosis (RO) units of the plant is created, based on the current state and the expected water demand; secondly, the available energy is then dispatched to these units following this prioritized list. The selected strategy is tested on a specific case study: a reverse osmosis plant designed for the production of desalinated water powered by wind and wave energy. …”
