Table 1 Energy and water supply scenarios

From: Seawater desalination in micro grids: an integrated planning approach

 

Energy

Water

Scenario 1

Serving primary load

No desalination

Scenario 2

Serving primary load

Desalination using excess energy only (not all water demand met)

Scenario 3

Serving primary load and flexible, deferrable load

Desalination when energy is available

Scenario 4

Serving primary load and constant, secondary load

Desalination with constant water flow
