RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Rule-based control of off-grid desalination powered by renewable energies A1 Serna Cantero, Álvaro A1 Tadeo Rico, Fernando Juan A1 Torrijos, David AB A rule-based control is presented for desalination plants operating under variable, renewable power availability. This control algorithm is based on two sets of rules: first, a list that prioritizes the reverse osmosis (RO) units of the plant, 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 reverseosmosis plant designed for the production of desalinated water powered by wind and wave energy. Simulation results illustrate the correct performance of the plant under this control strategy.
