“…Table 1 presents representative hourly data for wind speed, solar radiation, and potable water demand separately for each season of the year. The input data for the system components inducing various technical and economic parameters are presented in Table 2 (Mehrjerdi et al, 2021; Naderipour et al, 2020; Stehly et al, 2018). Besides, the desalinization plant is a seawater reverse‐osmosis plant with the data provided in Table 2.…”

The sixth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) announced by the United Nations addresses water and sanitation; its first target is providing safe and affordable drinking water. Water desalination is introduced as a viable alternative considering the present situation of the water resources and their consumption and pollution. However, desalination processes' high energy intensity conflicts with energy and climate-related SDGs. Correspondingly, the first target of SGD 6 can be translated to an affordable, eco-friendly, and reliable water desalination. However, these objectives are conflicting considering the current status of desalination.Accordingly, this article proposes a novel multi-objective model by quantifying the interweaved sustainable development goals for water desalination. To this end, a tri-objective mixed-integer linear model is developed to compromise the abovementioned goals, that is, water production cost, supply reliability, and carbon emission. The proposed water desalination system is fed by a combined wind-photovoltaic-diesel system, employs power and water storage, and seeks a trade-off solution based on the planner's preferences. The model is flexible in terms of the degree of achievement of each goal. A detailed analysis is performed, enabling the decisionmaker to comprehend the goals interlinkage based on the degree of achievements and deterioration concerning the other goals.

“…The water desalination unit is the primary source of water supply in the system. The potable water demand is met by processing the local resources of saline water 26 . The required energy for the process is a function of the employed desalination technology and the produced water volume, which can be represented by ().…”

Employing renewable resources, which act as an alternative energy source for desalination plants, has become one of the promising solutions for overcoming the water crisis. The various experimental, pilot, and research desalination projects powered by renewable resources have validated its practical feasibility in the past decade. An optimal planning scheme must be adopted to enhance these new resources' competitiveness in terms of cleanness, reliability, and affordability. Accordingly, this paper proposes a potable water production system based on water desalination. The desalination unit is supplied by a synergistic wind-PV system integrated with an electrical energy storage system and a water tank. Also, a diesel generator is considered for power production during periods of critical power production and power/water storage. The resultant air pollution is modeled and controlled to ensure the system's cleanliness. The size of the desalination unit, water tank, associated pumps, and power supply components are optimized simultaneously to ensure a minimum-cost plan. The proposed model exhibits linearity while preserving a predefined level of water supply reliability and a yearly emission cap. The model is implemented on a test case, and a comprehensive sensitivity analysis is performed to evaluate its effectiveness to obtain optimal results.

“…The renewable energy systems are considered as a promising solution to solve the electrification needs in the remote isolated areas [5,6]. Among these types of renewable sources, the wind energy is paid great concern to electrify the isolated hilly areas in the forms of illuminating and water pumping for irrigation systems [7].…”
