Economic analysis based on saline water treatment using renewable energy system and microgrid architecture

Abstract

Reverse osmosis desalination facilities operating on microgrids (MGs) powered by renewable energy are becoming more significant. A leader-follower structured optimization method underlies the suggested algorithm. The desalination plant is divided into components, each of which can be operated separately as needed. MGs are becoming an important part of smart grids, which incorporate distributed renewable energy sources (RESs), energy storage devices, and load control strategies. This research proposes novel techniques in economic saline water treatment based on MG architecture integrated with a renewable energy systems. This study offers an optimization framework to simultaneously optimize saline as well as freshwater water sources, decentralized renewable and conventional energy sources to operate water-energy systems economically and efficiently. The radial Boltzmann basis machine is used to analyse the salinity of water. Data on water salinity were used to conduct the experimental analysis, which was evaluated for accuracy, precision, recall, and specificity as well as computational cost and kappa coefficient. The proposed method achieved 88% accuracy, 65% precision, 59% recall, 65% specificity, 59% computational cost, and 51% kappa coefficient. HIGHLIGHTS Novel method in economic saline water treatment based on microgrid architecture integrated with a renewable energy system.; An effective and cost-effective water-energy system can be operated by using an optimization framework that simultaneously improves salty and freshwater water sources as well as decentralized renewable and conventional energy sources.; Salinity of water is analysed using a radial Boltzmann basis machine.;
