Water rights trading is an important way to solve the shortage of water resources. Combined with the characteristics of water resources and the requirements of the market economy, the organic combination of the government and the market should be strengthened. Through the establishment of a water rights system and a water rights trading market, the implementation of water rights trading will be promoted. Due to the decentralized and distributed structure, blockchain technology greatly reduces its intermediary cost in the application process. The tamper-resistant timestamp feature can realize data tracking and information anticounterfeiting, and flexible programming attributes can promote the specification of market order. Firstly, the reasons for water rights trading are studied, and the water rights trading system is analyzed. It is found that the system has the problems of the cumbersome transaction process and high transaction costs. According to the characteristics of water rights trading, the alliance chain Hyperledger Fabric is selected as the underlying network system of the trading system. Secondly, combined with water rights trading, Hyperledger Fabric multichannel technology is used to design a three-channel accounting method, and the chain code for water rights trading is designed and implemented based on the Go language. CouchDB is adopted to store key-value data, and Ubuntu, Docker, and Docker Compose are used to construct an operating environment of the chain code. Finally, the proposed system is tested. The test findings reveal that the distributed water volume of experimental area 1 is 41.8368 million m3, the current water volume is 23.831 million m3, and the quota management water volume is 20.432 million m3. The distributed water volume in area 2 is 40.4605 million m3, the current water volume is 4317.64 m3, and the quota management water volume is 77.4795 million m3. The distributed water volume in area 3 is 65.6928 million m3, the current water volume is 77.472 million m3, and the quota management water volume is 64.412 million m3. The water rights trading system based on Hyperledger Fabric can record each transaction data, which can be stored in each node, and the data stored in each node are the same. The proposed scheme provides a certain reference for the application of blockchain technology in water rights trading in irrigation areas.

“…The final cost of the produced desalinated water and the final cost of the produced energy from the HRES over the 25-year period are estimated. These values are based on the initial cost, the operation, maintenance, replacement, and salvage costs, the produced energy from the hybrid system, and the energy consumed for desalination (equal to 5.85 kWh/m 3 according to [5]) for each HRES. The number of times the storage units reach their lower limit during each year in the 25-year period is also estimated, which shows the critical periods in which the use of conventional fuels is necessary.…”

“…The most important issue is the intermittent nature of RES, especially wind and solar power [4]. RES rely on weather conditions, and the prediction and management of energy production requires new approaches [5,6]. Hybrid renewable energy systems (HRES) can deal with the stochastic nature of the natural variables through the integration of storage units.…”

“…The environmental impacts of three optimized HRES for the desalination of seawater are accessed in [37], showing that produced freshwater by a WT/BT system had less impact on resources, climate, and ecosystem quality compared to a PV/BT or a WT/PV/BT system. In [38], an analysis based on energy, economic, and environmental factors between two HRES of different storage technologies, i.e., PHS and BT, and consisting of both WT/PV is conducted. Results show that the integration with a battery has a higher LCOE and payback period (PBP), while less use of costly and polluting conventional fuels is achieved.…”

The necessity for transitioning to renewable energy sources and the intermittent nature of the natural variables lead to the integration of storage units into these projects. In this research paper, wind turbines and solar modules are combined with pumped hydro storage, batteries, and green hydrogen. Energy management strategies are described for five different scenarios of hybrid renewable energy systems, based on single or hybrid storage technologies. The motivation is driven by grid stability issues and the limited access to fresh water in the Greek islands. A RES-based desalination unit is introduced into the hybrid system for access to low-cost fresh water. The comparison of single and hybrid storage methods, the exploitation of seawater for the simultaneous fulfillment of water for domestic and agricultural purposes, and the evaluation of different energy, economic, and environmental indices are the innovative aspects of this research work. The results show that pumped hydro storage systems can cover the energy and water demand at the minimum possible price, 0.215 EUR/kWh and 1.257 EUR/m3, while hybrid storage technologies provide better results in the loss of load probability, payback period and CO2 emissions. For the pumped hydro–hydrogen hybrid storage system, these values are 21.40%, 10.87 years, and 2297 tn/year, respectively.
