“…More broadly, Kilkis et al (2020) and Rezaie and Rosen (2020) investigated the importance of water systems and their integration with energy and environment systems. Specific studies have been undertaken on solar desalination systems (Aboelmaaref et al 2020;Tong et al, 2020), photovoltaics (Anand et al 2021;Wu et al 2021), high-temperature geothermal energy (Abdolalipouradl et al 2020;Farsi and Dincer 2019;Gnaifaid and Ozcan 2021), ambient ground energy sources (Rosen and Koohi-Fayegh 2017;Alavy et al 2021), solar ponds (Kasaeian et al 2018Mosaffa and Farshi 2021), and nuclear energy (Khan et al 2017;Ghazaie et al 2020;Marques et al 2020). Technologies have also received attention that facilitate the use of sustainable energy, like energy storage (Cuce et al 2020;Campione et al 2020;Koohi-Fayegh and Rosen 2020;Dincer and Rosen 2021a), cogeneration, and district energy (Rosen and Koohi-Fayegh 2016).…”

An analysis is reported of a geothermal-based electricity-freshwater system in which an organic Rankine cycle is integrated with a multi-effect distillation desalination unit. The system is driven by geothermal hot water extracted from the production well. Mass, energy, entropy, and exergy rate balances are written for all system components, as are energy and exergy efficiency expressions for each subsystem. The exergy destruction rate associated with the temperature and chemical disequilibrium of the freshwater and brine with the reference environment are taken into account to reveal accurate results for irreversibility sources within the desalination process. The developed thermodynamic model is simulated using thermodynamic properties of the working fluids (i.e., ammonia, seawater, distillate, and brine) at each state point. A sustainability analysis is performed that connects exergy and environmental impact concepts. That assessment expresses the extent of the contribution of the system to sustainable development and reduced environmental impact, using exergy methods. Results of the sustainability analysis indicate that, with an increase in the reference environment temperature from 20 to 35 $$^\circ{\rm C}$$ ∘ C , the exergy destruction rate decreases for the multi-effect distillation and organic Rankine cycle systems respectively from 6474 to 4217 kW and from 16,270 to 13,459 kW. Also, the corresponding sustainability index for the multi-effect distillation and organic Rankine cycle systems increases from 1.16 to 1.2 and 1.5–1.6, respectively, for the same increase in reference environment temperature.

“…The integration of membrane desalination (MD) systems with low-grade energy was performed by Yadav et al [45]. Anand et al [46] examined the augmentation of PV with numerous freshwater production techniques. The main result showed that the integration of PV/T with desalination systems significantly affected systems performance.…”

“…The freshwater resources of the world are limited, and sustainable desalination solutions need to be developed in order to meet global freshwater demand, especially in arid areas and regions with water shortages [13,14]. In the last few years, desalination techniques employing solar radiation have been receiving attention from researchers because of their cost-effectiveness and easy application [15][16][17]. Various types of solar desalination systems (SDSs) have been designed and investigated in the past few years [18,19].…”

Solar desalination systems are effective and sustainable applications that are utilized to obtain potable water from saline or contaminated water. In this research, three solar desalination systems, including a conventional system, a phase change material (PCM)-based thermal energy storage unit (TESU), and a natural dolomite powder integrated PCM-based TESU, were structured and experimentally investigated. The developed solar desalination systems were analyzed simultaneously and the findings were discussed in detail. According to the empirically obtained outcomes, utilizing PCM-based TESUs and dolomite-powder-embedded PCM-based TESUs increased daily cumulative productivity by 10.15% and 17.70%, respectively, in comparison to the conventional distiller. Employing dolomite powder increased the energy and exergy efficiencies of the conventional distiller from 15.91% to 18.28% and from 1.26% to 1.78%, respectively. Moreover, environmental metrics such as global warming potential and the sustainability index of the developed solar desalination systems were analyzed within the scope of this work.
