Size optimization of a hybrid PV/wind/diesel/battery power system for reverse osmosis desalination

This study was to find the optimal configuration for an independent renewable energy system for reverse osmosis (RO) desalination. The objective was to find the lowest levelized cost of energy (LCOE), with power reliability as the constraint. A genetic algorithm was used to solve the nonlinear integ...
